Hello,

I am comparing different controllers and wondering what i should go with if any right now. Basically i want to controll Temperature for right now. But i know in the future i will want get a calcium reactor so i am pretty sure i need to controll Co2. I was looking at the neptune AquaController. Is it worth the extra money to get the PRO version? I don't really understant what ORPs purpose is so i can't see controlling it, also conductivity? I did notice that it had an extra External input. Now i am trying to compare these 2 to the Aquadyne model. I only see 1 model available I think it compares more to the pro model but am not sure. The packages they have at the site i am looking at make it difficult for me to tell if which one is more expensive but i think its the Aquacontroller. Any reccomendations that anyone using one of these would be great.

Thanks

P.S. Both these models seem kind of old as well i think they use WIN 95/98 it said. Is there a newer product on the market? like one that uses USB or RJ45 to connect rather than a RS-232 cable

I use the regular version of the ACII, and I absolutely love it. It controls everything on my tank. I don't feel that the pro version is needed.

I also use it with the aqua notes as well. It connects useing the 9 pin com port and I have ran it with win 98 and XP.
