I bought a Reefkeeper not too long ago when I got started in the hobby, I Wish I had spent the extra money and gone with Apex. I still have a ph controller in the packaging because I can't find any instructions on how to set it up or calibrate it. I ordered the double float switch package to go with it. You'd think a simple instruction telling you you have to mount the float switch on the bracket BEFORE you solder the wires would be included...DOH!

I can't get the temp probe calibrated to set it up and working properly. I have been having trouble with the desktop program to get everything running the way I want it.

It comes with a single piece of paper and it directs you to their forums. For the amount of Money they charge for their system there should be a manual with Proper instructions. There is one on their website, I downloaded it and printed it out....Think there is any step by step instructions for the probes?..Nope.
I shouldn't have to go searching their forums to figure out how to use their product.

Wow was that a soap box rant or what!? Guess I was holdin that in for awhile

I am really not happy with the reef keeper....Can ya tell?

One good thing I can say, I am happy I have the thing so I am not overloaded with power bars and timers. I think an Apex is in my near future.
