I'd start by checking out the reefkeeper lite. $99 for the basic module, upgradable to add extra features. The basic module includes a temp probe, but you'll need to buy the SL1 module ($67) for the pH probe. There may be a few other modules that offer the pH function; there seems to be some overlap between modules.

You'll be hardpressed to find anything else as inexpensive. I won't say cheap because mine works pretty well. I'd buy it again.

Default Reef Keeper

I have been looking at the Reef Keeper Lite myself and think that I am about ready to jump in on that one. I like the cost and the features that it provides.
