If you buy a USED controller, you should be able to save 60-75% on it...
 You can find an acjr package with a dc8 for pretty cheap. The old school kind (with the green instead of blue LCD) seems to pop up often for under 200$ including dc8,ph and temp probes. You could probably find it even cheaper without a ph or temp probe if you already have reliable ph and temp measuring devices in place. Deals like this http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...highlight=acjr seem to come up fairly frequently. Last edited by gobytron; 04-29-2010 at 02:16 PM.

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 :-)
