IMPORTANT NOTE FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: The EnergyBar 832 is for use in North America (USA, Canada, and parts of Mexico) and other locales where the electrical service grid provides 120VAC 60Hz power.  For sale in international regions which use 230VAC 50Hz power, Apex systems are bundled with an EnergyBar 6 equipped with 6 outlets specific to that region (UK, EU, AU, or Schuko). EnergyBar 6 models do not include the EB832’s per-outlet power monitoring, 1LINK or DC24 ports, or per-outlet indicator LEDs.

THE APEX ECOSPHERE-- LESS HASSLE, MORE SUCCESS
Built in WiFi, key parameter monitoring, and reliable equipment control. Prevent catastrophes, take corrective actions, and receive alerts to your smart phone when things go awry. Set reminders, log testing and dosing information, and keep tabs on your aquarium from anywhere in the world. All this and more is possible with the Neptune Apex Controller System!

The Apex's included WiFi allows you to connect to the free Fusion Cloud interface, where you can do everything from calibrating probes to customizing outlets with just a few taps. Fusion also gives you the ability to monitor and control your Apex from anywhere and on nearly every device platform – computer, tablet, or smart phone – Windows, OSX, iOS, or Android.

The Fusion interface has a user-friendly design sure to create a headache-free command center for all your aquarium automation needs. Its drag and drop interface allows you to toggle control switches, graphs, video tiles and more to your dashboard, allowing for easy customization that is focused on your individual monitoring needs. Being that the Fusion is a web-based application, you will never have to endure the rigmarole of endless app updates, clumsy touch screens, or complicated drivers to install. Whenever you open the interface, you are always running the most current version of the software. Set up and configuration is streamlined with an easy-to-follow guided user interface.

Included with the Apex Pro and standard Apex Controller Systems is the Energy Bar 832-- the power control hub to rule them all. They are the only UL-certified power bars approved for use in aquarium applications. Each of the eight individual outlets has independent power consumption monitoring with its own LED indicator status display, and the power supply feeds an additional three built-in 1LINK ports as well as two 24VDC accessory ports. Now you can connect additional Neptune accessories like the DOS and WAV pump directly to the Energy Bar 832, saving room and eliminating messy cords around your aquarium.

A3 Apex Pro Base Unit

The A3 Apex Pro is the most complete and comprehensive aquarium monitoring system in the Neptune ecosphere. If you're serious about having complete control over your tank, then look no further. From key parameters like temperature and ORP to water level depth and individual equipment power monitoring, the Apex Pro does it all, and now with a new soft-touch finish and built-in audible alarm. The Apex Pro includes four FMM ports for connecting all fluid monitoring sensors-- no separate module purchase necessary!

Neptune Systems Apex Energy Bar 632 UK

When they decided to create an Energy Bar for this new Apex, it was designed from scratch. The Energy Bar 632 not only has six 240V AC outputs, but also includes an internal 100W 24VDC power supply. That power supply powers three built-in 1LINK ports and two 24VDC accessory ports. Each individual outlet has independent power monitoring and there are individual LED indicators for each outlet. This LED indicates when the outlet is powered. The LED flashes when there is an overload.

The safety of our customers is important. That’s why we design every product according to established safety standards. In the case of the Energy Bar 632, we have gone a step further and the Energy Bar 632 now also meets the CE safety standards.

Feedback from our customers has led to our Energy Bar undergoing significant developments. For years it has been requested to provide a power supply for all individual devices, but it was not possible without pricing the product out of the market. Now it’s here and comes with tons of benefits.

With this new Energy Bar 632 you now know when the pump, skimmer, UV device or other device is not operating properly and an alert message can be sent. This enables you to catch problems as they arise and prevent them from getting worse.

Since the Apex receives continuous power consumption data from the Energy Bar 632, it can be set up to notify you when a device is not using power. An example would be a return pump that shows no power consumption. Or when a skimmer has a clogged airline because the power consumption is different than normal. These high and low limits can be customized for each individual outlet.

With all the functionalities of the Energy Bar 632, it is almost indispensable. For an excellent result and good health of your fish and coral you have a bigger chance of successfully maintaining your aquarium. The Energy Bar 632 is compatible with the ApexEL Entry Level Kit and the Apex Lab Grade Kit

11 Total power connections for your aquarium devices
6x 240V AC Outlets all switched with relays rated for millions of cycles
3x 1Link 24VDC Smart outlets for devices such as WAV, DOS, etc.
2x Switchable 24VDC outlets for accessories such as small pumps, solenoids, fans etc.
Built-in 1—W 24V DC Power Supply
Individual outlet current monitoring with specialized software to help optimize control and use less power.

*NEW* LLS Liquid Level Sensor

The Neptune LLS is a first of its kind industry exclusive! While most liquid level sensors simply measure the presence or absence of liquid at a predetermined  sensor height, the LLS is one continuous vertical sensor that can identify the exact depth of a liquid in both inches and centimeters at any given time. This increased sensitivity in measurement can help you identify and be alerted of changes in evaporation, consumption, and dosing levels within sumps, ATO reservoirs, AIO tanks, dosing containers, mixing stations, and more. The Apex can then be set to send alerts or to take action whenever the liquid level changes by a specified amount. All measurements are shown in both digital and animated visual readouts in the app, allowing you to track your liquid level over time. The opportunities and potential uses for this new sensor technology are endless for automating and optimizing your aquarium system.

*NEW* LD-3 Optical Multi-Surface Leak Sensor

Neptune's LD-3 Multi-Surface Optical Leak Sensor marks a significant improvement over its analog counterpart, the LD-2 Solid Surface Leak Detection Probe. While the LD-2 utilizes conductive strips to detect fluid leaks on surfaces around your aquarium, the LD-3 takes advantage of optical sensor technology instead. This shift in sensor technology gives the LD-3 two distinct advantages over the LD-2:

Reusable and resistant to corrosion. The LD-3 sensor can be reused after contact with water. Unlike the conductive strips of the LD-2 which are prone to corrosion from contact with saltwater, the LD-3's epoxy-coated optical sensors can continue to provide long-lasting leak detection after repeated contact with saltwater & with no risk of corrosion!
Multi-surface applications with no false alarms. The conductive strips used on the LD-2 can sometimes give a false alarm when placed on metallic surfaces. With its optical sensor, the LD-3 can effectively be used on any surface material type, including metal and epoxied cement, without the risk of triggering false alarms.

Lab Grade, Double Junction Probes 

The Apex Pro system includes high-quality probes for monitoring your tank's temperature, pH, and ORP. Calibration is a quick and simple process via the app dashboard, which will automatically recognize when your readings have stabilized and letting you know when to move to the next step-- no more guesswork and reading RAW data. In addition, the double junction pH and ORP probes will allow your readings to stay more stable without the need to calibrate as often.

Backwards Compatible

If you have any old modules, head units, energy bars, or other Apex accessories they will work flawlessly with the new Apex Controller.
