If used improperly, they can actually increase the odds of problems with your tank.

Not sure why you think I'm insulted. Sorry you haven't had good customer service on a legacy product from them. Your experience is definitely different than the ones I've had.

did not mean to imply "you" personally getting insulted there were a few comments through out the thread, one posted told me "shame on me" really? it was general statement.
been spending hours watching youtube vids and listening to others, on other forums.

in spite of my feelings toward neptune it seems to be the way to go.
just don't know if I can pull the trigger

to clarify I am not a computer expert but I am not a moron either.
it doesn't have to be plug and play, but it should be user friendly, and I dont want to have to give someone else remote control of my computer to set it up.

Have you taken my advice and downloaded the reefangel software. You can setup a controller right now to see how easy it is.

It sounds like the reef keeper lite would be perfect for you and for what you want a controller to do. Also it would be the cheapest option. You can pretty much google search anything you want to set up with it and find the answer or even a YouTube video explaining how to do it, if you cant figure it out. There is also a forum on DAs website that explains how to set up various equipment.

I would highly suggest not going with anything from digital aquatics.
