    What all is needed for my setup?

    I'm getting ready to buy an Apex system and I needed to know what all is needed so I can make one purchase. I want to control 3 AI Hydra 52s, Skimmer, Return Pump, and 2-3 powerheads for now. Salinity I'll check with my refractometer for now.

    You would need a standard apex with either lab grade or standard grade probe (lab grade lasts longer) and an AWM module.

    If it's a standalone ATO, you can just plug it in and you can provide an emergency shutoff (in case it fails) with a breakout box and a float switch. If you want to turn the apex into an ATO, you can get a breakout box, 2-3 float switches and a low flow pump (such as an aqua lifter of BRS 50ml/min perastilic) and program the apex to do ATO that is much more failsafe.
