Network capable Reef Controller Suggestions?

[Kbra]

Anyone using a network capable reef controller or know of a good one? I have a 80gal reef and want to hook up a controller to monitor PH Temp so far and control lighting, fans, and pumps and expand upon that later...

Its still that rare huh?

I have the aqua controller III and I like it. I have heard that the apex is not as user friendly and the is hearsay. The reefkeeper is good, it really depends on what you like personally.

I have tried a few and I would use any of them, but I like the the AC3 the best.

Thanks ill have to look into both of those but of the two you prefer AC3. I like your monitor in your signature how are you hosting that?

I did some reading the AC3 seems really powerful and has unlimited room for me to expand with it. I also notice the MarineDepot says it is now discontinued making me wonder if its about to get replaced or something...

The Reefkeeper Elite seems like its still in development from their website as far as ethernet conectivity. http://www.digitalaquatics.com/saltwater/RKE "This module is still under development and we're working on every aspect of it to reduce cost to you and NOT compromise safety and functionality. More to come on this optional module."

AC3 is replaced with the Apex just in the past couple months.

I have the AC3 and love it, no reason for me to change. The AC3 includes an ethernet port, I would imagine the Apex does also.

Maybe the prices of the AC3 will drop as the Apex gets popular or more people will sell off theirs. My main concern is will they begin to discontinue parts and add on for the AC3
