I’ve seen some threads on here about the GHL, as well as some on the GHL fans vs the Apex fans haha.

Often people criticizing the GHL say that “it shouldn’t be so difficult to program.” And supporters of the GHL say “it’s more complicated than Hooked-On-Phonics, and who cares, the adaptability is unmatchable.”

What has been your experience?

I unboxed it, plugged it in, and tried to get it to connect to my wifi for like 3 hours, and gave up.
It's been sitting on a shelf since then. I've had it close to a year or so now, and just don't have the time or patience to try to figure the thing out. So, someone is gonna get a great deal on this!

Hmmm… I’ll have to research some more about them. I’m pretty computer savvy, so I wonder…

Out of curiosity, did you get an Apex after your GHL was shelved? What made you consider the GHL vs going to the Apex at the start?

beautiful fish! I need one!

Pink streaked wrasses are awesome. It was one of my dream fish for years, and I finally got this little dude in December. It took me 8 months of *actively* searching for one to purchase before I was able to bring one home!

Pictures don’t do it justice! It’s hard for the camera to capture the “glowing” orange and blue-ish hue of the fish! You gotta get one! Just make sure that it’s eating in the store.

Extra pic of yellow banded possum “little guy” and pink streaked “little dude” looking cute:

I have not tried Apex.
I only purchased the GHL b/c it was an open box sale and I got a very good discount on it. The previous person must have thought the same thing I did... haha
I just haven't been able to bring myself to put that much money into something that I don't honestly feel I NEED it. I have been able to keep up with things pretty well, but I think the 55g would definitely benefit from a controller. I just would need to build a little space for it as I have no real room for anything.
And if I don't win the controller, then I still probably will continue to test and dose by hand.

They are cool fish! Very cheap also, compared to other wrasses. Part of it is they always look pretty rough in the stores because their fins get beat up in shipping.

Just make sure you add it as the last wrasse in your tank. They are a bit mean and will bully newcomers.

I have an apex system, I just would like to try a hydros. I’m honestly more intrigued by their wave engine more than anything else.

I’d prefer not to have to learn German to use an aquarium controller.

Right?
I speak French, and I am not looking to learn another language at this time.
If I did, it would be Italian, not German. I like the romance languages
