I'm looking for something to monitor/ control the temp, and timers for lights and powerheads mostly. I'm looking at the Neptune AC jr right now with a DC8. what are people's opinions of this product and is there something better? reefkeeper?

If nobody steps up to report complete success with this, I suppose I'm a victim of just being to cheap to invest in an AC3 first time around.

This is a quote from another thread. AC jr is good for really basic things. If your the type that likes to tinker with things, go for the 3 the first time around.

I have an AC Jr. on my 75g. It has done everything I have needed it to do so far.

i have the profilux. i love it so far, easy to use and if you run into trouble GHL and profilux are both here in RC.. check out the sponsor forum and see if they have a package that meet your needs.
