You will hear different opinions about this but I say most people on MR has the Apex. I have it and could not be happier and would not run another tank without it.

Thanks I'm leaning toward apex. I was being lazy but just googled it and it seems like on the long run it would be better to spend that extra $100.

Apex is worth every penny. I don't think there is a comparison.
I have used both and I love the Apex hands down.
Easy to use, nicer API, great customer service.

I have to put in my .02. There are not enough adjectives to describe how bad Digital Aquatics customer service is. The phrase "You get what you pay for" works very well when comparing DA and Neptune. You might pay alittle more upfront but that extra money is worth every cent when you make your first phone call and get a real person.
Other things to consider. Go on both companies forums for their systems. Look how up to date and active one is over the other.
From a user prospective I can't tell you about the Neptune product but using myreef with RKE is extremely easy. It makes the whole system understandable. Trying to navigate with just the head unit is near impossible.

I want to echo the responses on here. As an owner of both, the Apex is definitely the way to go.
The Reef Keeper is not nearly as reliable as Neptune's products and doesn't offer nearly the level of customization or options that the Apex offers. I did a lot of controller research and it was not even close. Apex all the way.

depends on what you want to do with it. If you just need a basic for monitoring and power switch control rkl is enough. For more customize and complex program features apex is better. I have both rkl is easier to use apex is alot more complicated but gives you greater control. But both will do the job you want it to do. And both are way overpriced for what you get. Just that rkl does not control pricing and you can get better deals on it. In the end it is how complicated your setup will be, will determine which system is better.
Even if you need a cheap controller... the Apex Junior is actually better than the RKL and the Reef Angel if you want the ethernet connectivity. (I was really surprised to find that out... the Apex Junior is very aggressively priced)
I have an Apex (complete version) and I just love it. Even though non-programmers might scratch their heads a little at first... it is a really good product and you can easily get help on forums etc to get you up and running.

Thanks for all the input!
Researched the Reef Angel seems like with add on it wouldn't be too far off in pricing.
Just have to tough it out and save for an APEX!
