    Multiple EB832s

    Is there a way to connect an EB832 energy bar without using the aquabus cable? Id like to be able to install one on another tank and running a cable is out of the question.Can this be done wireless?

    You must use an Aquabus cable. There is no wireless method to interconnect Apex system components.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    Maybe this is something Neptune should look into....

    Don't hold your breath. Wireless is finicky and more expensive to run, so it's extremely unlikely that will happen in this generation of apex.

    Why dont you just run a cable through your walls?

    That's what I ended up doing, I have 4 separate locations in my fishroom that has an aquabus connection on a wall plate. that way I can have an EB8, EB832 or any module in various locations.

    But I tore the room down to studs and wired it all, that's not a possibility for most hobbyist.

    You can add a wall plate and cable without tearing down to studs. Just drop the cable from the attic and pull with fish tape. The only drywall that needs cut for low voltage is the hole for the wall plate.

    A lot of new homes have fire blocks that are horizontal 2x4s connected between each 2x4 stud about half way up the wall. I ran into that problem when running the data cable to my existing router. I ended up having to purchase drill bit extensions to bring the length to 6' so that I can drill through that fire block from the attic. As luck would have it, when drilling through one in my office I drilled through a low voltage alarm system wire to an upstairs window. that required removal of the drywall to repair.
