    The new base has all the functionality of the Apex Classic + PM2 except for the ability to connect a second temp probe to the PM2. If you do have a second temp probe then you'll want to keep using the PM2 for that.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    They are not available for individual sale as of yet. Only the EB832 is. I would think once it becomes available you will see it on the major online distributors.

    Great and many thanks for your prompt response!

    Even better as I can use the old kit on a new tank and all I need is an EB6 to get powerhead up and running and build out the rest over time.

    Many thanks
