Well, i had the acjr and then upgrade to apex. I really like my apex far far more than acjr.
The best thing is I am able to control almost everything with my iphone when i am away from my tank. I can turn on/off stuff for maintenance or testing with ease. I am no longer have to go into my tiny space to unplug or plugin stuff which I hate because of limited space under there. I also set up a camera so I can view my fish eating when I feed them as I was enjoying a hot spring pool in Fairmont . If something happens, i got an email notification and then you can view the status and shut things off.
You can control with acjr remotely too but you need a computer beside your tank to hook it up. For $500, i think it is a great investment if you travel a lots.
Save it up and get Apex, don't go for ACJR :-)
