Comprehensive Monitoring for Your Aquarium
Maintaining stable water conditions is essential for healthy fish, corals, and other aquatic life.
The A3 Apex Pro continuously monitors important aquarium parameters, helping you identify changes and potential equipment problems before they become serious.
Temperature Monitoring
The included temperature probe continuously tracks aquarium water temperature.
Configure your preferred temperature range and receive notifications when readings move outside those limits.
When connected to compatible equipment through the Energy Bar 832, the Apex Pro can automatically control heating and cooling devices based on programmed settings.
Real-Time pH Monitoring
The included lab-grade, double-junction pH probe provides continuous insight into your aquarium's water chemistry.
Track daily pH fluctuations, review historical trends, and receive notifications when readings exceed your preferred range.
Consistent pH monitoring is especially valuable for reef aquariums using two-part dosing, kalkwasser, or other calcium and alkalinity supplementation methods.
ORP Monitoring
The A3 Apex Pro includes a dedicated ORP probe for monitoring oxidation-reduction potential.
ORP readings provide additional information about changes in aquarium water conditions.
Monitoring ORP trends can help identify unusual changes that may require further investigation.
Advanced LD-3 Leak Detection
Water leaks can cause significant damage to aquarium equipment, cabinetry, flooring, and surrounding areas.
The A3 Apex Pro includes the LD-3 Optical Multi-Surface Leak Detection Sensor, designed to detect unwanted water on a variety of surfaces.
Position the sensor inside your aquarium cabinet, near plumbing connections, or in other areas where leaks may occur.
When water is detected, the Apex Pro can trigger configured notifications and automated equipment responses.
This additional protection is especially valuable for aquariums with external plumbing, sumps, automatic top-off systems, and other water-handling equipment.
Continuous Water Level Monitoring
The included 15-inch Liquid Level Sensor (LLS) provides continuous water depth measurements.
Unlike point-level sensors that simply detect whether water is present at a specific location, the LLS provides detailed water level information in inches or centimeters.
Common applications include:
Monitoring sump water levels
Tracking automatic top-off reservoirs
Measuring aquarium water storage containers
Monitoring dosing solution reservoirs
Tracking water levels in mixing stations
Configure alerts and automated responses based on measured water levels.
This added visibility helps you identify unusual water loss, reservoir depletion, or unexpected changes in your aquarium system.
Energy Bar 832 – Intelligent Power Management
The included Neptune Systems Energy Bar 832 provides advanced control over connected aquarium equipment.
Featuring eight individually controllable 120V AC outlets, the Energy Bar allows you to automate compatible equipment and monitor electrical consumption.
Smart Equipment Automation
Program compatible aquarium equipment to operate based on time, temperature, sensor readings, and customized conditions.
Examples include:
Automatically controlling aquarium heaters
Scheduling compatible pumps and lighting
Shutting down selected equipment when leaks are detected
Creating customized feeding and maintenance modes
Configuring safety responses to abnormal conditions
Individual Outlet Power Monitoring
Each outlet provides independent power consumption monitoring.
Track electrical usage and identify unusual changes that may indicate equipment problems.
Energy Bar 832 Features
8 individually controllable 120V AC outlets
Individual outlet power monitoring
3 1LINK ports for compatible Neptune Systems devices
2 DC24V accessory outputs

Access your aquarium information through compatible smartphones, tablets, and computers.
Real-Time Monitoring
View current temperature, pH, ORP, and liquid level readings while checking the status of connected equipment.
Customizable Notifications
Configure push notifications and email alerts for important aquarium conditions, including:
Temperature outside your preferred range
Unexpected pH or ORP changes
Water leaks
Abnormal water levels
Configured equipment and power-related alerts
Advanced Equipment Automation
Create personalized equipment schedules and sensor-based responses tailored to your aquarium.
Historical Data and Maintenance Tracking
Review monitoring trends, log aquarium testing results, track dosing information, and create reminders for routine maintenance.
Remote monitoring and notifications require appropriate network and internet connectivity.
Expand Your Aquarium Automation System
The A3 Apex Pro is designed to grow alongside your aquarium.
Its modular architecture supports additional compatible Neptune Systems equipment and monitoring accessories.
Popular expansion options include:
Neptune Systems Trident: Add compatible automated water testing equipment for important reef aquarium chemistry parameters.
Neptune Systems DOS QuietDrive: Automate compatible dosing and fluid management applications.
Neptune Systems COR Pumps: Integrate supported return pumps for enhanced equipment control.
Additional Energy Bars: Expand the number of controllable outlets for larger aquarium systems.
