Fyi Reefkeeper and reefangel are two different products and 90% of people will tell you to go with apex. As duke62 once said in another thread these questions have all been asked before. Start searching this forum and others like reefcentral for past threads on the same subject. Start shopping online and see how these kits go together and what parts you might want. Look at the online manuals and see which ones are easiest for you and you'll get a better idea than everyone here who will just reply apex.
They also have different network requirements so that could also be a factor for you. Apex requires an ethernet connection and reef angel is wifi. ReefKeeper is also ethernet i believe. All require extra modules to plug into network and you can use a gaming adapter if you need wifi, but thats one more thing to buy which is why i went for the straight wifi option. So many things are going to influence your decision.
For the reefangel i am 100% satisied but it is not as popular. Go look at reefangel forum and see what other owners have to say since its not as widespread a product.
As far as reefkeeper, a lot of people recently been saying company is going down in customer support or that the product is not keeping up with the competition. The company Digital Aquatics recently made a new product that is basically the same price as controller but just a monitor, so great your temp is 85 degrees, nothing you can do but run home. Or your pH is out of whack, start running. With a full controller you can disable heater or turn off calcium reactor or dosing pumps that may be screwing up the chemistry.. Just an example..
Either way the moral for this one is to start looking at these closely and searching for existing threads before asking more controller questions
your not the first person to ask and its not such a simple answer as Apex (although you cant go wrong with Apex!) but you are going to have to find what works for you. Same way you decided on a 150.
