For the people that have the power bar, are the outlets spaced far enough to allow wall warts to be plugged in?

Also, I only have the Multi Bar, not the stand alone power bar, but they appear almost identical in construction and spacing from what I can tell

Looks like AquariumSpecialties.com is giving their Vertex Cerebra customers a probe holder with their order. This is pretty cool on their part! I wonder if AquaCave and BRS are going to do something similar to this....

That's frustrating. If they would have rotated the outlets 90 degrees it wouldn't be a problem. Of course it depends how may wall warts you have, too. The DC adaptor for my Tunze ATO is actually off to the side rather than vertical - I wonder if that's a German/European thing. It would explain the outlet orientation.[/QUOTE]
There is always a solution to every problem. All though I still agree with you about the anoyances of such large wall warts. https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...nclutterer-20/ Will

Got my Cerebra and so far it appears very nice indeed. I haven't fiddled with it yet because I forgot to get calibration solution (doh!) and am waiting on that. The Cerebra forum is very proactive and responsive !! They are definitely working hard and fast at resolving issues and addressing wish lists. However as one who got in on the second batch it's been a little confusing trying to catch up on the forum as to what issues still exist and what have been addressed because they have stable firmware releases and beta firmware releases (which seems redundant in a beta program but I see they want everything in place for the full launch...no biggie). I'm anxious to get my probes calibrated and get this think rocking and rolling to see how it goes. From what I've been reading (catching up) the Cerebra has been running solid for lots of folks. It's when very specific set ups and programming comes into play that they accommodate those unthought of settings and subsequent Cerebra reactions to unique settings so the more people in there with their varied set ups will make the firmware so much better. I don't see a reason so far to degrade the Cerebra compared to the Apex. They are both doing exactly what they are designed to do...the Cerebra after a few pushes of buttons and apex by specific programming. So it's whatever you prefer. The more apex users that have bought a Cerebra will see the difference right away. I think with the fact that you do all the programming yourself in the apex users kinda have a safer feeling about the results and with the Cerebra (so far) you have to watch the results carefully because of it being beta. I wouldn't run a complete system just yet but once this is out of beta I wouldn't hesitate. They know how to attack the issues and fix them quickly. They are also very willing to get any other piece of equipment to work with the Cerebra without prejudice which is pretty sweet too !! They are in talks with lots of equipment suppliers who are on board. Super promising because a lot of functions will eventually be done at one push of a button. The future is awesome with this. The cloud is coming very soon and it will open the possibilities of this so much more !! The closed forum is a very good idea by vertex because they are working constantly at getting ALL the kinks worked out of this thing and curious questions would just take time away from that. I didn't get it from the outside looking in, but now that I received my unit and am in the forum I get it 100%. That's just what info I have so far. Pretty stoked but got a little ways to go....

I'd be curious between the setup controls of
cerebra vs neptune fusion dragging cerebra vs apex classic local web interface basic menus (not programming) Fusion has made a few things like pump and light setup really easy but still has some of the basic menu driven setups as well as the advanced programming. The local web interface has the basic menu driven setup that's very basic and the advanced programming. Then see how their cloud may possibly simplify and make more complex programming easier.

The seasonal table would be something to bring up in that forum to see if they can get support for.
There's some really interesting things you can do with it. I have practically everything timed, directions, speeds, intensities, etc coordinated together with the seasonal table. Lights, moonlights, heaters, pumps, tides, etc

Working probes need to be in place to schedule outlets that require the input of a probe. However other outlets can be programmed without the equipment being plugged in. Just some FYI.

I just test programmed a heater and it is very simple. You set your acceptable range with the temp probe, click on rule, then the outlet you want effected by a rule (i.e. Heater) put in your target temp (say 80) and your tolerance range (+,- temperature) and that's it. The heater plug is programmed. It's different in that you program the heater plug through the temp probe, but it makes sense if you look at it like...what outlet will be effected by temp and pick that outlet, touch what you want and bingo! It's programmed. Very fast, super simple.

It also has a rule wizard that you can hit the temp button, then rule, then rule wizard and pick one of 2. One is heater only and one is heater and chiller. Pick your outlets, Set your temps and tolerance and that's it. It's pretty nice that way, but driving those off of a table will not be directly available till add ons are created later.

Hmm. Just found out you can do it via the heater outlet too...didn't try it that way though.

That would eliminate many things I include. Or at least makes scheduling more tedious.
Like I have my limewater (kalk) separate from my ATO and runs for 1 second every 2 minutes. My ATO is also uses osc to control run times. Thats two of many I use.
