im kind of stuck on this
i know that the elite comes with more for just a little bit more money
but i havent see any great reviews about it online
so i am kind of hesitant to make the purchase
i currently have a apex jr without the display
and it works well but just is not giving me everything i need
i would like to monitor ph
but dont want to upgrade the apex just cuz it does not have a display and is kinda confusing for me to setup all the functions
im looking for an upgrade that is going to give me a
display
temp
ph
so if someone could chime in for me that would be great

I'm running an old school Aquaconttoller Jr. It gives me temp and pH. I couldn't imagine thy the apex jr doesn't. Does it not support the probes?

Reef keeper is awesome and very simple to operate...
ive owned a lite before and imo it was good but i wanted more and i hate the lites tiny screen... The elite is the way to go, idk how different the titanium is but it looks similar.....
i would never buy anything tagged JR. Ben..... Lol jk

Another downfall of short man syndrome. It doesn't bother me.

The titanium's screen is white. No other differences what I can see.

thx for all your replies
i know that the apex jr does support the ph probe
but i would have to go buy another module and probe
also i want a screen so it seems like i should just sell my current apex
and look into getting another controller

It's got the web module built in, right? Can you not just use your phone as a screen? I dunno. I can see your point I guess. I'm just cheap. :)

yea i access my apex jr through my phone but sometimes it messes up
it has to do with my ip
i probably didnt set it up right in the beginning
thats the reason why i got the apex because it did have web access but i feel that i dont use it as much as
i really want to get a ph probe because with the new tank im setting up its going to be mostly sps
and i my current tank right now i really didnt monitor ph, alk, or even has a "saltwater" test kit
even though i know i should have
