I added these recently to my system, I have to say I'm pretty happy!
Set up was easy, I'm not a big fan of how the pumps are angled out. I wish for conservation of space and tube management that they were straight but it's not that big of a deal.
The real beauty is in the apex fusion integration I tell it how much I want to dos over what time frame and it figures out the rest.
The motors are stepper motors which allows for increased accuracy and they are variable speed.
The ddr resivor is a clean looking unit. I didn't have room under my stand but I didn't mind having it out because it looks cool. The optical level sensors are a nice touch and interface directly with the dos. No need to eat up break out box space.
Couple of features I wish were there:
1) I wish I could tell the system what I'm dosing like the brand and liquid I'm using (bright well reef code a or BRS 2 part, etc) and tell it where I want my tank to be with that parameter and it look at recent test results to figure out how much it needs to dos. The test result logging is already a part of fusion so it's just connecting the dots. (I'm sure there's a bit of coding needed) it could then start seeing what the tanks average usage over time and several tests to keep levels consistent.
2) tell me based off the current dosing schedule how long till I need to refill the ddr. It already estimates the amount of fluid in it based off the dosing and gives me a graphical representation in fusion. This would be more of a "will wants to be lazy and not do the math" feature.
Overall I'm very happy with the purchase. It was bit more than I'd like to spend but for the support and feature set its worth it.
