A robot with the ability to think, act and solve problems like/better than a human.

I use an Apex Neptune... and anxiously waiting for the Vertex Cerebra. I think it will be the best by a long shot.

The dream for me would be reliable and stable. I don't think I recall ever hearing about issues with Neptune or profilux units. Those Re therefore dream controllers to me. Profilux being the baller option. A totally new controller is not my dream but usually I like to adopt the tested and true.

The Cerebra controller sure sounds like it will be in a league all by itself.

I have an APEX and two Reef Keeper units ( one RKE and one RKL)...they all work great but I can't wait to try out the Cerebra...I Likes the toys :wink:

Profilux all the way. The versatility of it is amazing. By far the best upgrade to our tank. Since getting mine i have gotten rid of the rats nest of wires, 5 power bars, 6 timers. It has made it so clean and easy.

but what one thou I would love to get a controller what do one do when his tank is 8 feet long

how do you control the lighting and the pumps on the left side is the lights and the MP 40's and back up power

the right side is the heaters and the return pumps and skimmer when you have the 1 DC 8 or what ever its call

Just need 1 main power bar, 2 d4's or a pab6 and a d4 to plug into the main. Or go one further, 2 d4's and a pab 6 and Bob's your uncle.

Thou soundest Shakespearian.

So far I've got an Apex controlling my system but I'd like to eventually add a network camera. The final piece of equipment that would make it complete would be an internet enabled remote control robotic arm to allow me to feed my eel and lion while I was away.
