So I scored a Neptune Apex for Christmas (actually, a little early), and man this thing rocks! Got it all installed on Saturday, calibrated the PH probe and configured the outlets. I just spent a couple of hours running a new CAT6 Ethernet cable in the attic to the tank to tie it in to our home network, then configured our router for external access. Next up is configuring notifications and all that jazz. After that I plan on tying in the BRS dosing pumps and getting that all setup.
Hopefully all this work will mean a little less work and worry from now on!

Just thought I'd share, if you're planning on getting a tank controller, do it! I couldn't decide between LED's or the controller, but I'm glad I went with the controller first :D

Merry late Christmas and an early Happy New Year, everyone!

I still need to organize some wires/cables, but here is what it looks like now:

Display Module and what once was a coax cable jack is now a CAT6 Ethernet jack:
