OK, so i read a bit more. You need an apex switch box to make this work. You wire in the humidistat to your switch box, and when it kicks on, THEN you can have your apex turn on your fan. If you have the switch box already, this would be the less expensive and more controllable option. I read about it here: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1933966 link ($25.09 shipped w/prime)

amazon link ($55.98 shipped w/ prime) I'd be more inclined to go with an outside of apex option. As of now, there is no way to measure humidity in line with the apex (that i'm aware of). So you'd have to be introducing some of your own electrical logic to get that to work right. i.e., apex says temp is too high OR humidity is too high >then> turn on fan. In reality, if your temp gets too high, your evap fan is gonna kick on or you're gonna shut down your halides. I think apex integration is a feature you'd never use.

You might be ok in the 0.5-1 range of a swing, but if you get above one it has been my experience that you start to have issues, especially if you're sps heavy.

Id say no on mg and yes in 0 phosphate being a problem. I've noticed improvement with heavier feeding (still skimming, still gfo-ing)

Ack ! Sorry to hear man. You or we will collectively figure it out some day.

MIddle ground is manufactured LR (like real reef) which several LFSs carry. Like sascha said, dry rock is cheaper and removes pests from the equation. LR gives you more biodiversity at the expense of cost and pest risk.

API test kits are pretty notorious for low resolution at the bottom end of the test scale. You would likely have some pretty hairy algae Issues if you were truly at 0.5 ppm.

I think in my case gfo was working better than expected. I tested prior to a heavy feeding and then once a day for two days. It went 2,10,2,0. This is month old gfo at recommended dosage !
