    How can I connect 3 dosers to energy bar

    I have 3 BRS Dosers that I want to connect, but the energy bar only has 2 slots. Do I need to purchase another energy bar? I also have 3 solenoid valves, which slot will they go in?

    You can only plug two things in one outlet if they will have identical programming which is unlikely for 3 part. Solenoid valves (if they are Neptune SV-1) can go into the 24V port of an EB832, 1link module, or FMM. They can also be plugged into a 24V power supply and into an energy bar. Considering best case you have two 24V ports open in an EB832, I would get another power bar if it were me.

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

    I can’t thank you enough for your help as I am new to this. Not sure what the best and most cost effective way to go on the solenoid.

    The one I have was given to me by AquaFX. It’s got a blue top and says ST-41 on the bottom it says CJ. It came with a standard plug.

    I have the Apex classic by the way.

    The EB4 would be the most cost effective, but that doesn't leave any spares if you add something else later on. I would check Craigslist, local reef clubs etc for a used EB8 and if you can't find one, just get one new.
