I am planning on setting up a 54 gallon corner tank soon. I have been doing some research on controllers and was just wondering if i could get some advice from some fellow reefers.

I personally think apex (or most from neptune systems) are the best... sure there are new touch screen systems coming out, but I just know the service you get from neptune.

I bought my ac3 used and whenever I have a question, or issue they never even hesitate to help fix it. Even if its my fault. I have emailed with them till 10pm our time, just to reset my orp probe manually. Unbelievable equipment and help. I plan on waiting a few years to even see how the touch screens, performance and service weighs in.

So for me APEX!!!

I like the Reefkeeper series. The Lite fits most budgets, and the elite does everything you'll need a controller to do. Of course the new Profilux TouchPro, and the Vertex Cerebra will be available very soon and I'm sure they will blow everyone away.

what are your thoughts on the Neptune ACjr? I noticed a member on the forum has one for sale.

I would get the new Apex Jr that was just released.

I have the Reefkeeper Lite and am not thrilled about it. I have had issues with it and Digital Aquatics has been so-so with their service.

If I was buying new, I would only look at Neptune and maybe Profilux.

JK - I was thinking of the Elos controller. It is super pricey!
