Controller Recommendation?

[Lloyd]

Hi,
I am trying to decide on a controller setup and was hoping to get some suggestions. There are several alternative systems out there and I don't want to get locked in to one system and find it doesn't have what I need. From a requirements standpoint I have the following:
Monitor pH, Salinity, temperature and maybe ORP
Control chiller / heater
Monitor for leaks, like wet floor
Web interface preferably so I can check in remotely
Record all of the above for charting etc.
Most of these seem possible with the Neptune 3 Pro. I assume salinity is measurable via conductivity? Are there other systems? If I go with this one, which items would I need to get in order to do all of the above?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone has!

Check out my website I been working on, all the stats on the left side is being fed from my Neptune Aqua Controller every two minuets. I have not seen any other unit that is capable of doing that.

Here is a screen shot of the direct IP access to the controller, I can turn on or off any controlled appliances through the internet:

You can, but you should just buy a ACIII to save all the extra work you have to do.

You need to buy a Elos Biotopus II to match that new tank .
