Default Reef Keeper Lite

just thought i'd start a discussion thread on the new RKL

if you dont know what it is here's a link:http://www.digitalaquatics.com/m_pro...er=30-0012-001

so discuss away
some topics i think we might want to touch on are:

-pros/cons
-will it beat the RK2(quality wise)
-what do you think about the whole add on as you go idea?
-what are some things they should have included?

I would actually question the touch buttons, and if they are similar to the RKE.

Yeah, me too. I don't think I would touch first gen of any controller....six months or so after they are released maybe. Despite what the manufacturers say they all have/had problems and they all fail periodically. I am partial to the aquatronica as of right now. But I don't really see a need for a controller right now. There are some pretty sophisticated timers in home depot that would serve my purposes...combined with a few other things that is.

Why do they not have this out to the market yet if the have already discontinued the Reef Keeper 2 as I just found out today.

I cannot seem to find an ETA. I just want a simple controller for lights and to monitor temp and PH, this might be the right tool for a guy like me

BRS still seem to have RK2's if you are looking for them. I have one and it's very solid.

Looks like they are shooting for the middle of Feb.
