BornToHula Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Anyone see the new Vertex Controller? Looks like it may be a pretty good competitor to the Apex and Digital Aquatics offerings. Apparently they are doing a discount if you are an early adopter... https://reefbuilders.com/2016/06/15/vertex-cerebra-aquarium-controller-android/ I just bought an Apex Controller recently so I won't be changing, but if I was starting from square one I would be tempted.

bfrench Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 At that price does it come with any probes? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 The guy I talked to at Vertex said watch the video from BRS. He said it'll basically come with everything there. While I doubt it comes with two power strips, I would bet it comes with a temp probe and pH probe. Who knows what else but at that price and with those features, who cares. Anything else is bonus to me. [emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToHula Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 The post at reef builders says "Ostensibly missing from the bundle is one of Vertex’s own high-spec lab grade pH probe". I'm not 100% sure what ostensibly means but I think they are saying they don't think it comes with the pH probe. Ty, are you hooking the controller up to your main tank?

FarmerTy Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 No way, it's going on the frag tank first. I'm experimental but not crazy! [emoji4] I bet they just mean it won't come with a lab grade pH probe but it I'd be surprised if it didn't come with a pH probe at all. That would be ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbyb3 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 This is from their FB page Vertex Technologies, Inc.The only offered probe will be the temperature probe. Other probes are extra. All other probes will be on sale for 10% as well for extremely market competitive prices https://www.facebook.com/VertexTechnologiesNA/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reburn Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 If my iPad was time restricted and had a breathalyzer I'd never get anything ordered. Ty I'm kinda excited about someone in the club getting their hands on the new controller and putting it through the paces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
