spipedong Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hey Guys, I just ordered an Aquacontroller Jr (base unit only) with serial interface for a little under $100 shipped. It does not include the DC4 or DC8 power strips, but I'll be using X10 anyway. This is almost $100 less than marinedepot and I didn't believe my eyes. Hopefully the order gets through and they don't call up and say that it was a typo and they won't honor the price! (scary) So if anyone is looking for a controller and doesn't mind picking up a DC4/8 seperately or building their own with X10 components, jump on it! Linky: http://www.dtpetsupplies.com/catalog/Digital-Instruments/Neptune-Controllers/Base-Neptune-Units/AquaController-Jr-Backlit-unit-with-temperature-probe-and-serial-interface-DI-NPC-ACJR-SR/ Also, the picture they have is of the pre-facelift version, but I don't know which one I'll actually receive.

drock59 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Please keep us posted on this issue. If all goes well for you, I might get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spipedong Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Update: I got an email from D&T saying that the ACjr has been backordered but they expect to be back in stock within a week. No mention of an error in pricing or anything else, so it looks like that really is what they're selling them for. The fact that they're ordering a new lot leads me to believe that I'll get one of the new Black/Blue units instead of the older Blue/Green units pictured on the site.

spipedong Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 SCORE! Received another email this evening that their neptune systems order had been stocked in and the ACjr is on its way... Tracking number and everything. Delivery date 11/27! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisW Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I got my acjr back when they were first introduced. I think their promotional offer was the base unit (back lit) and a DC8 for about $150. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
