i noticed the dos head spin faster than the units i have , is there a setting to increase the speed of the dos head? Comment from : in2reefing |

Is there a way to automate the salt mixing? I have a freshwater tank I'd like to add buffer/lake salt to but I can't find anything that seems to be able to add dry doses to a mixing bin Comment from : Tanktanium |
|
That tip on running the remove pump in reverse is awesome! Thanks BRS! Sure miss Randy Comment from : Mark Stover |
|
I'm learning loads from these videos Just a shame I don't have an Apex system or a tank to put it on! 😂 Comment from : Chickenfist |

Dude turn the excitement down Comment from : Kevin James |

I just set up my dos for manual water change and couldn’t figure out why it was t drawing water from the tank - you answered it here - when you prime the line both heads spin to the right but when you do water change right head spins opposite so you have to switch your lines around ! I caught that here in your video and for that I am grateful! Comment from : 68glp |

There is nothing in the reefing hobby that is made reliable by the use of the Neptune optical sensors Those things are garbage! After replacing 5 sensors in 7 months on my ATK I went back to float switches On the other hand the idea of using the DOS for the water change is great Comment from : jayhawkscott |

Can you program it to auto water change once a week? I don't want it to change water every day but I also don't want to remember to push a button Comment from : Nick Salic |
|
Seems complicated at first but in the long run might be the easiest way to reef Comment from : Poseidons, Reef |
|
I have watched this a million times Will NEVER get tired of it Comment from : nic |
|
Looks like more work than a bucket lol Comment from : Solid Works |
|
So while it's performing the water change it change in manual water change mode Does it turn off your pump and protein skimmer? So they don't have issues with lower water volumes Comment from : Adam Ashton |
|
How do you avoid TDS creep with the auto fill water system? Comment from : Intercontinental Cruiser |
|
How do you hook those RO lines to the DOS? I didn't think it was possible Comment from : Michael Green |
|
tempting until you have to get a program degree from Yale I wish they would make it so much easier the software just looks ridiculousfor that kind of money it should be alot easier its just software,make it simple Comment from : Flipflopluke |

All this for a water change no thanks The old school way works fine 🙂 to much bs to not work right I get a big brute can next to my tank mix my salt with ro di water pump it in Done All this is a joke in my opinion and just the cost for all this stuff i will stick with the old school way been in saltwater since 1986 the cost for all this stuff not worth it old school works fine for me just my opinion people are getting to lazy!!!!! All this for a simple water change doing the old school is just fine 🙂 Comment from : Doberman guy |

Thanks for tip 9 Comment from : Andy Gustafson |
|
It would be nice if you included links to the items used in your video, or at least a list of all of the items Comment from : Chris Chapin |
|
Oh boy This look so complicated I think I won't buy a Apex Neptune!!! Comment from : Chris |
|
When you ATO station cost more than whole my tank with equipment This is for lasiest richest hobbyst Comment from : Domagoj Stepanić |
|
Ok maybe dumb questions but how do you get your apex DOS to show units in Gallons not ML? I don’t see that option??? Comment from : HeadStrongGrafx |
|
There is something I left out of my previous comment i would like to thank Randy and BRS for providing a wealth of information, they are giving options and ideasit is much appreciated! As to actually doing this I'm in the camp that with solenoids and optical sensors, which are notoriously unreliable etc I would not trust this path Sometimes we automate for the sake of automation and cool stuff Many times simple is better, it's definitely has less opportunity to fail As the old saying goes; "Keep it simple stupid" (Bobby Fraser hit the nail on the head) Comment from : Max Tisch |
|
Seems a lot harder than "turning valves" Comment from : Nick Gialias |
|
I kinda did the same thing just with smart spear and bunch of smart switches But a Neptune going to be my next investment I forget to tell Alex to turn things back on like heaters Comment from : JOHN LUCIANO |
|
I have been tempted to do this, but it is expensive However, my primary concern is confidence in Neptune equipment, their controller is well thought of but pretty much all their accessories are at best 50/50 in reviews on the BRS site and R2R Their EB832 is less than 25 stars and most other equipment barely pushing 3 stars Looking at the construction of the EB832 I would say it commands a huge premium ($280) for the relatively modest quality Comment from : Max Tisch |
|
Are you able to give an estimated cost of everything besides the apex and reservoir Ie modules, DOS, sensors and solenoids? Comment from : JAHs Reef |
|
I’m monitoring my mixing tank salinity with apex salt&temp PM2 and programed the DOS wc not to work when salinity is below 34, moreover I’m in the process of building an auto salt dispenser connected to apex via ACC V24 to dispense salt when salinity is below 34 and also ATK is automatically filling the mixing tank to keep it always full by this approach you can easily reduce the size of you mixing tank and end “adding salt” dilemma that every reefer is facing wish me luck Comment from : Ahmed Ghamdi |
|
First i need to get an apex 😂 Comment from : Marcel Rodriguez |

Great overview, and glad you pointed out Tip #9 about swapping the Remove tubing so both heads can run clockwise I've been running my AWC that way for nearly 3 years now, and wrote up detailed instructions at Reef2Reef on how to change the default AWC remove settings: wwwreef2reefcom/threads/finally-got-a-dos-for-awcE28099s-any-tips-or-hints-appreciated744640/post-7783633 Comment from : Suncrest Reef |

Nice run down Randy! Thanks One question I have is regarding daily water changes I've always wondered whether or not an ATO is still needed when doing daily water changes Any insights you can share? Comment from : John Gorla |
|
Awesome, it’s been a awesome difference I had it set up with sch 80 solenoids valves but was a lot of water fast so never felt safe doing it without watching it, now it’s set up and basically forget Comment from : Sid - Team Build OCR |

I need this, can’t wait Comment from : Joes Coral Reef |
