Reef monitor recommendation?

[thesauce]

Hi everyone,

I'd like some advice before I invest in a monitor/controller for my 29g. I'd like to stay under $500, I'd like internet capabilities so I can check on pH, temp and lights while I'm gone. Any recommendations? Any feedback from those using one of these products?

Thanks!

Wow. The apex is a big step up from the aqua controller.
Does it keep time better than the ACJr?

Had Neptune sold it -- now Reef Keeper Elite

I had the ACjr and recently upgraded to the Apex - was always very happy with both and Curt (from Neptune) has always been very helpful.

Thanks for the feedback. I decided on the Apex. The deciding factor was the ability to control and monitor via iphone. I'm on the road constantly for work so this seems like the best fit. It'll arrive next week and I'll post some pics and feedback!
