I wouldn't be worried about the $100 off, it is the amount that is left that scares me.

It's such a good deal I ordered one, along with a 210g starphire tank, Infinity XR4 3x250MH light with ACLS etc. Should be built and arriving in 2 months.

Thanks. I'm in Winnipeg (updated my profile). Just starting out. Should have a 67g tank setup for softies in a week or two and while that's happening I'm accumulating stuff for a 210g SPS tank. I used to breed/sell Discus but got tired of f/w and sold all my tanks. I was left with a couple and decided that if they didn't sell I'd try s/w for a change. No sooner did I decide that and the damn tanks sold. So I'm starting fresh with all new equipment. The 67g tank will be done on a tighter budget but the 210g will be a little larger, ha.

Yah, it is pricy stuff, but I was going to buy one anyway. Finally getting the extra cash (backpay) I've been expecting. Saving money just makes it better.

- price (Neptune has some lower budget models available)

+ more flexible configuations, ie sensors, & optional control modules (biggest reason I chose it over the Neptune)

+ better programming, more stable (according to reviews of others)

= availability

I've been running one for a year now. Infact, I was one of the first few in North America with this controller. The first little while was a bit bumpy but the company is awesome and with a few firmware updates they had things figured out.

I highly recommend this controller and it'll even more attractive in a month or so. (once the ethernet/webserver module is out)
