Is it worth it to spend the money on the Abyzz to Apex Interface Cable? It almost 200 dollars. My pump always on for my main return, besides when I am feeding. What would be the benfits?

Thanks

i considered exactly the same question, I have the Abyzz a200

The only time the pump shouldn’t be on around full power is maybe when in a ‘feed mode’ but to be honest I broadcast feed coral food every 2 weeks and it’s easier just to manually turn the power down.

So in my opinion no it’s not worth it and certainly not at that price, it’s just a cable. I seem to remember it’s only ‘basic control’ as well from when I did my research on it.

Thanks for the feedback, I was thinking the same thing, and was just really wondering if it was worth it. I could spend that 200 on something else for the tank instead.

I wish somebody had the pinout for the abyzz. What is that cable doing that it costs that much? Is it converting 0-10 or 1-10V to other form of control signal?
