Haha...after this I may be looking for a new husband

Seriously, my son has had a few part time jobs over the last few years to save money:
- 3 years ago started changing light bulbs in our neighbourhood for our back lit house numbers that are architectural controls - $10 per house for $2 light bulbs - it is amazing what people won't do for themselves
- 3 summers ago he found a part time job at a local marina where we spend our summers (pumping gas for boats, helping the mechanic, etc)
- In Calgary through the winter he has 3 snow removal contracts for houses in our neighbourhood
- also refs hockey...

He has earned a lot of this himself...we are only sponsoring him a little bit He's a hard working kid with a great attitude and doesn't drink, do drugs, etc like lots of kids in his school, so I don't mind the sponsorship

Right now I am regretting we didn't get the Apex...I should just throw in a little more "sponsorship" and maybe get it for him??? In a set up like this are we crazy for not getting it?

I am still building my tank and have no experience with a controller, but do plan on running an Apex. Perhaps someone else could weigh in on that question. He sounds like a good level headed kid, so why not spoil him a bit? Lol. I'm sure it would be a huge help in managing the tank!

Definitely get the apex I love mine. No more unplugging for me when I change water or checking reactors. Just log on and turn it of.

Default Apex

I have a ReefKeeper Lite and I wish I had gotten the Apex. Got the Net Module as well but that only means I can monitor my probes via internet. No way for me to control my equipment via iPhone like you can with an Apex. For the price of a RKL and the net module, I'm almost at what I would have spent for the Apex basic.
