I bought a Milwaukee PH monitor. Should I return it and get the controller ? If I plan on running a 1” line to the outside for fresh air should I worry about a C02 scrubber and solenoid and all that jazz?

If I had a 1 inch line for fresh air I would not worry about it. I can only do fresh air in summer here, however have no PH issues when doing fresh air. In winter I do run a CO2 scrubber, and need it.I bought a Milwaukee PH monitor. Should I return it and get the controller ?

I plan on running it right out my fish room next to where my gas pipe heads outside. I’ll insulate it and put some carbon filter at the end outside. Should I point the outlet pipe down outside ?If I had a 1 inch line for fresh air I would not worry about it. I can only do fresh air in summer here, however have no PH issues when doing fresh air.

Mine just goes straight out, but not sure if down would be better.I plan on running it right out my fish room next to where my gas pipe heads outside. I’ll insulate it and put some carbon filter at the end outside. Should I point the outlet pipe down outside ?
i just can’t convince myself to spend the money on an apex . Has it been worth it ?Mine just goes straight out, but not sure if down would be better.
Also I bought a fancy ph monitor at one time then ended up getting an apex and wish I had not bought the other monitor. If I had the chance I would have returned it.
apex is not the only game in town.. If you are going to go the controller route.. at the end of the day do you want it to monitor and control.. not to say apex is bad its not, they all have there issues.. but you have different options.. starting as simple as hydros, GHL, reef factory etc or DIY.. lots of pro's and cons about different controllers out there.i just can’t convince myself to spend the money on an apex .

I’m looking into it !I have the HydrosX3. Has Ph probe and is a full controller and the starter pack with WiFi power brick is half the price of Apex. I had the ApexEL on a previous tank and now run the hydros. Apex is overpriced
