Couple quick questions:
Are you sure your apex is recognizing the breakout box?
It may be reading on a different numbered switch. So if you have it on one, it may be registering on four. If that makes sense at all.
On you apex home page, there's a very small link on the upper right hand side, it says "edit". If you click on that a flyout menu with a bunch of different icons pops out. Pull all of the switch icons out onto your dashboard, click save, mess with the switch to see which one registers the switch.
I have the apex light as well , I don't have my tank set up test as it's still in progress , now I am not computer literate at all so I'm sorry for my ignorance .... How do you set up the ATO to the apex ?? I will have a tunze ATO and I thought they just work with the floats and a parasistic pump?
if you have a tunze no need to set it up via apex... Tunze is plug and play and is pretty awesome ato
gotcha ! Thanks man ... I was scratching my head with this one , so your talking about using the apex with a small manual pump to go on and off correct ?
