    Energy Bar voltage

    Hi everyone, im from Argentina and in my last visit to USA i bought the Apex gold to improve my reef.
    The question that i have is, The Energy Bar works only with 110 60 Hz or i can connect it to 220 V 50 Hs which i have here in argentina.
    I asume that modules and controler works with 12 o 24 v.
    thanks for your time

    I'm sure they experts will weigh in, but there's an Energy Bar 6 designed for 240v.

    The EB8 only works with 110V, you need the energy bar linked above for 240V

    You can power the controller with 12V DC plugged into the aux power port on the base or use a 220V 50Hz - 110V 60Hz converter rated for 2kVA to feed the EB8 (if you go this route, you can use american 110 V 60Hz equipment on that EB8 so it doesnt go to waste)
