99% of what you said up there is handled by the wizard...just a few clicks and your all set.

Wait wat .....

There is a nice wizard that takes care of all your standard usage. Lighting w/sunrise, sunset effects, ato, heaters, chillers, dosing pumps, etc.

Click, click, click, upload... Plus a great user community who can help with just about any specific needs.

Nice ok that's actually pretty nice how about price is it cheaper then the apex but about I controlling over the phone

 

[lnevo]

Yes, cheaper than apex especially when you factor in all the things you get out of the box. As far as phone, you have three choices, web interface, android app and iphone app.

The iphone app is a little behind in features but works great though. Hopefully we get that caught up soon.

You do need the wifi attachment for the remote control features.

I like the APEX because it is very expandable. The only thing I have against is that if you want to use more than a simple program, it becomes a pita. But well, being a programmer, I can understand that they did not want to have a complex parser.

I have decided to end up going t5 for now till LEDs get better cant trust all these things to much yet maybe in a year when I get some more cash on hand. The apex might work but has any one noticed the reef keeper titanium that's not a bad price on BRS

Dude, save your money, forget the reefkeeper. If you are technically savvy and want to save some money, the Reefangel is a good bet and will get better as more people join the community. The Apex is the pinnacle (pun intended) of controllers IMO, it has the most robust user-community and customer service. It is well worth the extra money.

I wish I remembered the name but I heard of a new controller being either announced or released in September 2013. Sorry for the lack of details but I'm sure you guys can search for it
