Advice on Choosing an aqua controller????

[AngelicUpstart88]

Im not sure if i should get Digital Aquatics Reef Keeper or the other one from Neptune systems.
ANYONE HAVE A PREFERENCE???

Im gonna be using it mostly for ORP and pH and but of course lights, pumps, etc.

well you can use any of them for that. it depends how much are willing to spend. You could go with the RK light for $99 and start building to a large system or you can get the AC Apex for around $450 or the RK elite for around $450 so it is really up to what you want. I like them both and I have dislikes for all of them. I have the AC 3 and I like it a lot. I have a RK Light got my frag system and it works good. Na not you can get the net module for the Light now so there all good just depends how much you want to fork out now.

Go talk to Tom at SoCalTropical.
He can sell you anything you want at a very good price.

If it were me, I would get an Apex.

good luck

Apex but really doesnt matter it depends on how much you want to spent.

Does the net module allow you to check your systems controller online? im not clear on what exactly that does.

So far im thinkin about getting the APEX
:rock:

Does the net module allow you to check your systems controller online? im not clear on what exactly that does.

Currently it will allow you to check on your system, receive email alerts/alarms, view data logs/graphs, and with the planed release of the 2.0 firmware, you will be able to control the system remotely.

for the price there both good. I use me ihpone for my AC 3 and I love it but I also have a app for the RK as well. the net interface for the APEX is good to. I have not used the RK net interface yet so not sure. I will see if I can get access to one

if you have cash go to tom and youll get hooked up with everything you need .. head unit,probes,modules... you name it you can get it cheaper thru him

 

[tangreefkeeper]

ive used an AC III, Reefkeeper, AC JR and they all do the same thing.. deciding factor is how much you want to spend

I feel that my APEX is the best $$ spent on my tank. Since I have installed that, I have not had to worry at all about my tank, and know that at all times it is running properly and efficiently because the programing (tho not the easiest) has allowed me to configure my tank the way I want it to be.

I have had experience with both of the units and they both have great options over each other, but i truly feel the apex is the better unit.

HTH
