well... it's no longer about budget.. APEX system needs overhaul and new APP/design too. where hydros shine in this area, i will eventually switch over if Neptune doesn't put their shit together.
another reason i want to wait it out is hydros app isn't any better in terms of bug free and good...
or get kraken, and you get get rid of some power bricks all together, this is the main reason makes me wants to switch. but another thing about this device is that i have to buy all force-port cables separately, why can't they just include all the cables needed?
i will hang onto my trident and wait it out to see how it will turn out after a year or two. maybe buy a used hydro system down the road when someone is selling.
