    Second 832 over a 1-link module?

    I am still in the process of getting everything for my first reef tank, and have been buying alot of Neptune products. There are likley more DC power supplies than outlets on the energy bar that comes with the 2016 APEX. I was planning on getting the WAV pumps and 1-link bundle, but was considering a second 832 bar instead.

    I am trying to support my local shops and they dont carry the WAV and 1-link bundle and only have the separate units, so would be spending an extra $50 for the standalone 1-link module, or put that extra $50 towards the 2nd 832 bar. $150 for 1-link or $250 for another 832.

    Any opinions/thoughts on if I should just go with a normal powerstrip to support all those extra DC adapters for the various neptune units and stick with the 1-link module for the WAVS?

    I am in the same position. Upgrading my 80 gallon which is controlled by an Apex Classic to a 120 which will be controlled by an Apex 2016. I brought all new modules to so they color match.
    On my current system I am running 2 EB8's, but with the new system due to the COR Pump, and a few less items I could get away with 1 EB832. However, I did need a few more DC outlets, and you can never have enough AC outlets, so instead of a 1Link, I opted for a second EB832. Plus you can't beat the cool factor of having 2 of them!
    Bottom line, see what your current needs are, and do you have room for future expansion.
