Jennylynn9579 June 25, 2012 Share June 25, 2012 Which controller does everyone use? Im leaning towards the apex for the web and phone control capability, but open to consider other units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny June 25, 2012 Share June 25, 2012 Thinking of picking up the reef angel as well due to cost/flexbility and overall old school GUI...How's it working out for you icecool2? What are the cons for RA? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS June 25, 2012 Share June 25, 2012 I use the old ACIII +1 The controller has been trouble free, the DC8 outlets? Not so much. Customer support has been excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami June 25, 2012 Share June 25, 2012 I used an AC-III until recently, when I switched over to an Apex. Both the Apex and the AC-III have the control capabilities that you mentioned that you're interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecool2 June 25, 2012 Share June 25, 2012 Thinking of picking up the reef angel as well due to cost/flexbility and overall old school GUI...How's it working out for you icecool2? What are the cons for RA? Thanks I personally love it. Now there are a few caveats to that... I write all my own code from scratch. I don't use their builder tools because I want things very customized. For me it works perfectly well and it very stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco's Reefs June 25, 2012 Share June 25, 2012 I, too, am a fan of the Reef Angel. Depending on what you want to monitor the controller works fantastically. It costs less than the other products but does require some configuration and programming to do some of the specialized options. I do some programming if you need the help and would be happy to show you what I doing. Check out my web site for some screen shots and ideas for some of the things available. Thx Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecool2 June 25, 2012 Share June 25, 2012 To the same end as Rosco's mentioned... I have a pretty detailed tutorial on my website that takes you through how to program the RA. It is actually one of the links that they send you to from the ReefAngel website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennylynn9579 June 25, 2012 Author Share June 25, 2012 Is anyone using AI Sols? I have 2 now, will be getting two more for the upgrade, but I think there was some other accessory needed to run them with the Apex. And will the Apex run vortechs straight out of the gate or will I have to buy something else for that too? I assume the standard grade ph probe is fine, I wouldn't need the lab grade, right?

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I just checked with the guy that developed ReefAngel and he said support is available for the AI Sols. Reef Angel supports all channels individually and Vortech is supported as well. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schudini June 25, 2012 Share June 25, 2012 (edited) Apex on reef tank. If you want web control, Apex Jr for a FOWLR tank or a less complex reef (especially if you don't need a display or can borrow one for initial setup), otherwise RK Lite.
