    Biocube 32 Lighting Control w/Apex

    Is there a way to control the Biocube LEDs with Apex? I plan on eventually upgrading the lights; but until I know what corals I want, the lighting is OK. Fish only w/Live rock for now.

    The Biocube controller lets me set times for 1) ramp up & down [default 30 mins], 2) full lights and 3) moonlights.

    Just got my unit in a couple days ago, but haven't had time to set it up. I know what I'm doing this weekend.

    Thanks in advanced for your help.

    I don't believe you can unless you replace the drivers with 0-10V input ones. The lights in my biocube are apex controlled because I ripped out the stock lighting and replaced it with a light that has 0-10V input channels.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    What did you replace yours the with? I've looked at the upgrade kits from Steve's LEDS, Rapid LED and Nanobox.

    I fitted mine with a rapid led onyx fixture I had leftover when I tore down my 125g. I wouldn't recommend it starting from scratch as I had to cut the cover in a few places so it would fit and to get proper ventilation. Their customer service was really good and their quality was good as well so the rapid led retrofit would likely work well.
