Kris Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I may need to get a new controller so what one does everyone recommend? Does anyone have anything about the Apex that they don't like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanktop74 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 There is not a think I don't like about the APEX!!! or the customer service you get from Neptune Systems!! Plus you can control everything through your iPhone too!! On the other hand their set up instructions suck! But lucky for you there are many people on the forum that have gone through it before and can help you! Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefcam Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I have an Apex and love it. The only issue I have is the backlight on my controller unit go out. So I have it unplug now and just use my iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have replaced a couple of things for me.... my EB8 bar that caught fire (due to my vho's) and the thermometer probe that was bad.... both free of charge!

reefcam Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I haven't contacted them about it. But will do. Last time I e-mailed them about something (can't remember), they didn't seem like they wanted to help. So didn't get a good feeling about their service. But will contact them and see what they say.

Bigjohnwoody Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I have an Apex and I like it, but it makes me feel computer illiterate! I can't seem to get it to work well with my iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Does anyone have any input on the ReefKeeper Elite w/ Net - Digital Aquatics? And if I do this I will be wanting the best model I can get. So what one do I want to get the NEPTUNE SYSTEMS APEX WITH EB8, TEMP, DISPLAY? http://cgi.ebay.com/NEPTUNE-SYSTEMS-APEX-EB8-TEMP-DISPLAY-/270575742265?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3eff922d39#ht_6463wt_730 For just 1or2 hundred I think it would be worth it to have the better model. And where should I buy it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where should I buy it from? Thats waht I got, you may want to contact whatever LFS you frequent and see if they will match that price. I did that when I bought mine and the store matched it for me. You wont be dissappointed, I bought the the other brand (DA) and returned it, after adding in all the extra components I needed it was over priced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadams7 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I know its not for everyone, but I have the reefangel and love it. It allows you to write your own programs too if you feel so inclined. and the customer service is amazing (you talk directly to the guy who created the unit).

grassi Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Apex, or if you got a nice tax refund: Elos Biotopus. It is about 2k but you get a free ph and temp probe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked her in to the range of the apex but she would never go for that. But I may have to take a look at it online but that's about as far as I could go.
