Acjr>RK2

No data log on the RK2.

What does the myreef software for the reefkeeper do? I thought it was a data log.

Probably. I meant that the RK2 doesn't have a data log that is displayed on the unit itself. That was one of the deciding factors for me when I bought my Acjr.

I picked up a RKII about a year ago used and am really happy with it. My setup is pretty simple (return pump, 4 Koralias, heater, 2x250w halides, 1 T5, skimmer, fan) and it does everything I want it to do. I haven't had a single problem with it since I got it. I don't data log or anthing, I just wanted a controller to turn everything off and on when needed.

I have a ac3 . It was very difficult for my dumb a-- to program it. my gf had to do it for me.It does everything I need it to do and more. the temp probe died 4-6 months after i got it, they made me buy a new one. One of these days I am going to sit down and figure this thing out and take advantage of all the other features this thing has to offer
