## What is Apex View?

Your reef at a glance—on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and the widgets you see every day.

Apex View is an independent dashboard for reef aquarium hobbyists who use compatible Apex controllers. Connect through your existing Apex Fusion account or directly over your local network, then turn raw controller data into a fast, focused daily view.

TRIDENT STATUS AND TANK ALERTS
See active Trident status on your widget and choose to receive local notifications when module health or a custom probe threshold needs attention. Alerts are processed on your device and can be disabled at any time.

CUSTOM HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
Build separate small, medium, and large widgets for the readings that matter to you. Choose and reorder temperature, pH, salinity, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, phosphate, and other connected probes.

WATER CHEMISTRY AT A GLANCE
Color-coded health ranges make daily check-ins fast. Set per-probe low and high thresholds so the app reflects your aquarium—not someone else's defaults.

APPLE WATCH AND COMPLICATIONS
Keep important readings on your wrist with the companion Watch app and complications.

POWER MONITORING
See equipment wattage and amperage, ordered by consumption.

FEED MODE
Start and cancel Feed A-D from the dashboard or an interactive Home Screen widget.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Credentials stay in the Apple Keychain. Tank data is cached only on your devices for the app, widgets, and Watch experience. Apex View does not collect your data.

REQUIREMENTS
- A compatible Neptune Systems Apex controller
- Apex Fusion credentials for cloud mode, or local controller credentials for local mode
