    Is This Set Up Right?

    I am completely new to all Apex products and am a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out what I need. My objective is to have a system that will
    • Monitor temperature, turning on a chiller when needed and alert me if temperature rises above a set point
    • Detect water level of sump rising too high or aquarium water level falling and alert me if it happens
    • Alert me if power goes out

    I think all I will need to have is an Apex Jr. a fluid monitoring module and 2 optical level sensors (one for the sump and one for the aquarium).

    Is there anything ells that I might need? Thank you for any help or advice.

    Hello,

    You can get away with that or buy a Break Out Box and use just float switches.
    But why don't you take a look at the new ATK? it has already 2 optical sensors, pump, several failsafes, etc.

    All the best,
    Rui
