    are you talking about the reefcon software? if so it works pretty good at least the free versions, i never really used the tracking software but i used the x10 portion of the program to control my lights. i ended up picking the wrong type of x10 transmitter so long story short the system became very unreliable over time. so i upgraded to a neptue aqua controller jr.

    meh, at best. the reefcon pro is actually free, there is an upgraded version of pro that costs money. i tried running pro but there was bugs in the x10 portion of it. so i ditched and i have been using the reefcon 2000 for the past 2 months. it is a major pain to do the testing and have to key all the stuff in. you are better off getting a controller with a serial port and have the controller graph everything for you. i guess it comes down to how meticoulous of a person you are. if you are just interested in keeping track of all your stuff by all means it will work great, but if you are trying to get the program to control your tank, pass on the infinity software try out the Doctor Aquarium software it is 50 bucks and you need to buy a dr. daq for the program to monitor ph and things of that nature here is a link to the dr daq Dr DAQ Data Logger with built in sensors - includes oscilloscope and data logging software
