Best Value controller

Live Rocker · 10/27/2009, 03:25 AM

I have been thinking about getting a controller and wanted to know your opinions on the best value for money? I want to monitor/control my lights/temp/ph and use it as a wavemaker for my power heads. any suggestions?

The Reefkeeper Lite is a great package deal. I originally owned the lite and upgraded to the elite. That is another great thing about the reefkeeper lite, you have the option to upgrade to the elite if you outgrow it.

Sounds like if that's all you want to do then the reefkeeper lite level 3 would fit the bill. I'm not familiar with the neptune or other controllers but I like the modularity of the reefkeepers.

BTW, bulkreefsupply's description is wrong in that the RKL can accept the SL2 module which includes the ability to monitor salinity.

Yep, RKL is the way to go. If you can find a used rk2 that would be good also
