I have been in these forums for about two years. I have owned saltwater aquariums for about 18 years. I know there are always new things to learn and forums are a great way to learn. That's why I still hang around here even though my Apex has been stable and no changes for about a year, is to learn fro listening and helping others.

my philosophy in helping people, with anything not just the apex, is to give them assistance and not to just do it for them. This goes for helping my wife or daughter with a computer issue or even learning how to watch Netflix on a new tv. I try to help people with apex the same way, suggest what commands to use and point them to the manual for syntax.

However, I just don't understand why we spend about $1000 to just get started with an apex and I am sure some people have 3-4,000 in apex equipment. Why would you spend that much money for something and not look at or read the manual?
