Excellent Vortech to Apex integration By Randall on 8/8/2017
Randall would recommend this product to a friendThis is a superb module. It controls the Vortechs wirelessly, and gives you access to all the built-in modes except for wavemaking autotune. Since I'm not interested in seeing waves in my tank per se, it's not an issue for me, but might be for others. Best of all - the Apex programming interface for the Vortech pumps is so much more intuitive, flexible, and fast compared to using the Vortech control buttons or the clunky and buggy EcoTech ReefLink interface. If you're an aquarist who likes to run several different modes throughout the day, transitioning smoothly from one to the next, this is the only way to go. -

Works-Expensive By Jason on 1/16/2017
Jason would recommend this product to a friendWhile I like the module, it is expensive. I was able to easily connect to both my vortech mp10s and setup a custom program. Probably worth it if you already have vortechs and an apex controller. -
No issues so far By Mark on 8/29/2016
Mark would recommend this product to a friendWell these wont let you control your vortech pumps or lights like the ReefLink does but if you have an Apex, Its the way to go. Even though its missing some functionality, there are plenty of settings/options that will let you configure your pumps/lights the way you want them to be. It's not a deal breaker for me and I would rather have one system for control than 2. Be aware that this product does not support the Vectra. -
Gives a lot of control over the pumps By Tray on 5/17/2016
Tray would recommend this product to a friendA great add on to the system if you use vortech pumps. It gives you a lot of easy to access control over the pumps and a lot of customization of operation. -

Great product By bl95 on 9/10/2015
bl95 would recommend this product to a friendThe only way to control your Vortech pumps. Fusion makes it easy to change modes, timing, intensity, etc... -
junk By Roger on 9/3/2015
Roger wouldn't recommend this product to a friendLightning mode won't allow for percentages, cloud mode too. Acclimation mode is unsupported. Now after getting a vortech I find out that it only supports around a 10-20% lowest setting. Customer service ignored me for a couple emails about this. Of course every time I write them they say 'we're working on adding this!' Yet in the amount of time since, they've released the Dos, Dos container, Wav pump, and now the par monitoring kit. I think they added this just to say they "can" control ecotech stuff. Promptly dropping this crap on ebay and buying the reeflink. Tired of half-arsed support and only minimal functionality. -
Great product, needs technical writer for Neptune. By Drew on 5/31/2015
Drew would recommend this product to a friendTIP: Be sure to update to most recent firmware and then reset rado updating Apex firmware go mow lawn and restart everything when you get back, Your installation will go smooth.
Plenty of control. You gain stable reliable control by abandoning Ecosmart. You lose some refinements of the unstable interface of Eco"Smart". You loose easy access to acclimation periodization and % randomness of cloudy days. Cloudy days seems fluffy but is appealing feature and looks realistic. I am sure this will be included in time. -
Must-Have for Vortech Owners By Jason on 4/15/2015
Jason would recommend this product to a friendI use this module to control my Vortech MP-10's and absolutely love the ability to quickly and easily control the pumps. Very nice to be able to slow them down for feeding and take advantage of some of their default programs throughout the day and night. Setup could not have been easier. Highly recommended for all Vortech users.

Product Questions
Do I need a separate WXM Module for each of the Radion G4 lights that I plan to control or can one WXM Module control multiple Radion G4 fixtures? If so, how many can each module support?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Question by: Hunter on Nov 15, 2016 11:23:00 AM
Great question! The WXM module has 11 independent channels to support 11 VorTech pumps or Radion LEDs. :-)
Answer by: Randy (Admin) on Nov 15, 2016 12:37:00 PM
Do I have to have the reef link in order to connect to the ecotech products or will this direct connect them? Do I even need the WXM for the new apex system with build in WiFi?
Question by: christian on Jun 15, 2016 9:20:00 PM
Great question!
As long as your Vortech's are wireless enabled (all radions are already) you can wirelessly connect to the WXM module when plugged into the apex. The WXM is still required on the new apex as the RF chip on the Radions and Vortechs does not work with WiFi. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions.
