Sheez you guys. I said one of the reasons. Dont put words in my mouth Steve about buying loyalty. I support our sponsors to the best of my ability. If I have to explain why I would do that, then ppttttthhhhhhhhh.

Yes Brad, I understand some sell the others. I just said that as I like what I have read about the unit and a the service from the ones that carry it.

For now I love my Reefkeeper and their service.

I just wish I could figure out how to use all its functions.

I had the RKE. One major problem, I encountered with it is that the pH/Orp probes are not current isolated. That is to say any stray current or EM interference in your system will throw the measurement off. Another fault is that you cannot independently calibrate two probes on separate module. Calibrate one, then the other gets thrown off. For these reasons, I dumped the RKE and got an Apex. I'v no experience with the profilux.

Mind you I've also experienced some issues with the apex such as a mysterious shutdown of my recirc pumps and lighting for four hours ( when I was away) and it came back on bye itself. I also found the alarms a bit tricky to program and the alarm messages cryptic. Overall the apex looks more solid than the RKE. I hope this helps.
