Overview

 
Neptune Systems A3 Apex Pro

Monitor. Protect. Automate.

The A3 Apex Pro is a complete aquarium monitoring and control system built to help prevent equipment failures, catch problems early, and make day-to-day reefing less stressful. Track key parameters, control connected devices, and get notified when something needs attention.

Monitoring

  • Track temperature, pH, and ORP with included lab-grade probes
  • Continuous water level monitoring and leak detection with LLS and LD-3 sensors
  • View trends and history inside the Apex Fusion dashboard

Protection & Alerts

  • Automatically turn outlets on or off based on water parameters, sensors, or even time/day of the week
  • Email and/or push notifications when something needs your attention
  • Built-in audible alarm for immediate local alerts

Control & Expansion

  • Control Neptune Systems equipment like DOS and COR pumps, Trident testers, and more
  • Also compatible with select non-Neptune equipment from top brands like EcoTech Marine, AquaIllumination, Sicce, and Kessil
  • Backwards compatible with legacy Apex modules

Product Questions

With this system can you set up the ORP to turn off and on when it reaches the setting you want? or does it just monitor the reading?
Thanks
