Thanks

no it does not, But everything it is controlling requires power so why would you need it on if the power is out?

ACIII has memory in case of power failure. I bought my unit used ($300 with 2 DC8's) and the original owner didn't have it running for over half a year and it still remembered the time and had the previous settings still in memory. Pretty cool.

DEZ how much is the AC III

Checkout the Apex. It does everything the Proflux does. I'm going to have mine plugged into a battery backup so if the power goes out it can notify me via email or text of the problem. (as well as keep a powerhead going)

Here's a link to the J & L for the Pro model. Not sure what the difference is cause mine is a super old model and I got it used.

I have heard a couple of good reviews of the digital aquatics reefkeepers. I was thinking of getting one of these down the road. It can also control your ATO and you can buy the float switches for it. Anyone else have any experience with this brand?

No, I was thinking of the profilux's settings. So if the power goes out, you don't have to re-program when power is re-established.

No they are stored on a NVRAM of some sort. So the power can go out for 100 years and the data will still be there. You can also back up all the Data to your PC along with sensor cals. so if a SW upgrade goes bad you can always get back to the last back up

Something tells me if the power goes off for 100 years the aquarium is the least of your problems
