    Neptune Apex is GARBAGE!!!!!

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Thanks EVERYONE for all your HELP and comments. John, The Manager of Neptune Apex Support called me at home this morning (Saturday) and helped me straighten out my system for 2 hrs and 10 min. He also said they would replace my WAVE which went bad even though it was out of warranty.  I'm now good with Neptune Apex.

    Neptune Apex is GARBAGE!!!!!

    I have had a reef tank set up for the past 32 years and I am SO SICK of the Neptune Apex System. The %$&#@!!! thing NEVER works correctly. There is always something messed up or off-line or screwed up. Their support is only open M-F from 9-5 when all the people that have a real job and can afford a reef tank are at work and cant call for help. I think they planned that on purpose. One of my NEW Wave pumps quit working and they would not replace it so I bought a new one and for the last 3 months it wont work  because is says MISSING on the Apex controller. The specific gravity prob is garbage, Half the time the control outlets don't work.  Then you always have to put in some $#%@ pass code.........Why do I need a pass code? The Russians going to sneak my settings?. This whole piece of crap is going in the garbage, pumps and all. I want control back.

    Looking great. Why do you keep the pest anemones?

    I just getting ready to transfer them to the pest Sump from my display. I keep them because they multiply rapidly. In 6 months I should have over 6 square feet of these little buggers 1” from the surface level grabbing everything that passes over them instead of remaining in the water column. I have no filter socks etc. I dispose of waste naturally

    And just a general shot video, showing the front of the tank.  The left side is basically solid coralline...  the front, patchy.  The right side is some calcerous green algae.
    So I plan to let it go a week and see how much it can recoup on its own... If I can stand the wait...
     
     
     

    Crazy cool
