I'm looking to buy either a reef keeper lite (pH is not necessary but would be nice) or an apex jr (must have temp probe), if you have one you would like to sell, PM me with a price!

Apex all the way. Digital Aquatics support is horrible.

Is Apex mac compatible? I remember one of the bigger brands being very mac-unfriendly and if I recall right it may have been apex.

Plus if you are running leds the reefkeeper has trouble controlling multiple meanwell drivers I hear. At least thats what apolloreefled has on their site....

I have had rkl and now a RKE and love them. anytime I have needed help I get a real person, they have been helpful and provided great support. also they are very easy to use and program.

I have an RKL w/the SL1 (Level 2) plus a pH probe for $175 - sale pending:
* 1 x Head unit
* 1 x PC4 (4 outlets)
* 1 x SL1 (Inputs: pH, ORP, Temperature, 2 x Switch Ports)
* 1 x Temperature probe
* 1 x pH probe

I bought this last summer for the baby clown tank, so I only used it a few months. These are easier to use than the Apex, but it depends on what you want to use it for. I used it for lights, heater, and monitoring temp/pH.

Would you be willing to sell without the SL1 and PH probe? Basically as the RKL basic unit?

Hey Teeb, that's a sweet price but I think my wife would kill me for going that far out of budget :/
