    Can anyone recommend a good aquarium controller that wont break the bank. Im looking for something that will monitor my ph, timers, and a temp probe for around $300 or less.

    By the way, tons of choices out there and you'll get lots of opinions. I ended up picking something simple and not necessarily AS expandable as others. My thought was that I'd learn on this. Get more experience and then in 3 years or so, upgrade to something cooler.

    Look at this link
    Digital Aquatics Reef Keeper

    At the bottom they outline the differences in the RKL models. I am confused though...is the last one the RKL 3? does it come with the net module and everything listed there?

    If I look on Marine Depot the RKL 3 doesnt list half the things as listed on the other site.
    Digital Aquatics ReefKeeper Lite Controller

    Are they the same thing?

    Keep a watch on RC as someone is always selling a controller. I like my ACIII Pro because of web access when I am away from home.
