I guess I shouldn't be shocked at the overpriced accessories by Neptune. A simple extension cable for my ATK pump cost almost $20. A quick reef2reef search and I made my own. Found out it was nothing more than a micro molex 3.0 connector and 20 gauge speaker wire. Since I was at it, I also made an audio alarm. Those text messages Apex sends out doesn't help when I sleep. Frankly, this should have came standard. Entire project cost me $15 on Amazon.

OK.. so this is an alarm for every time an alarm is triggered? I like the idea.
Yes, but I only set it for leaks and if the temperature is outside my desired range.
Again, this should have came standard with the $1K+ Apex system.
