Aquarium controller

[ZIGGY63]

Who's got one and what brand is it? I have been looking at the reef keeper or a reef angel.

I've used Apex in the past but I do not have one in use currently.

I love my reef angel. So much more peace of mind.

[BlueDevil]

Just got an Apex last month and I cannot say enough good things about it!

 

[Ryan15236]

I do not currently own a controller but it will be my next equipment purchase and I will be going with an Apex as well.

 

[AllSignsPointToFish]

I am really considering either an Apex or an Archon. Price point is basically the same, but one is more widely used and the other has additional features. Tough choice!

Well finally broke down and bought a reef angel, I guess I'll call it an super early Christmas gift

 

[palmer]

Nice David! Be sure to keep us updated with how the system works out for you.

okay so update time just installed last night maybe took up to an hour and half, that's me just guessing.
pros: it came pre programed, made setup super easy, also with pre programmed it cut out all the code writing which I was not wanting to learn
cons: ato did not come with brackets, so used old jbj ato brackets. yes the electrical connections are a tad small but manufacturing would have to change. which would mean installing the nut on the float valve during production. the temp probe was a bit short so it limited control placement.

so in the end it appears to be a good little setup, excellent if your on a budget , entire setup so far is 275.00
