    Apex, Reef Angel, Reefkeeper.

    Not sure if any others can be controlled remotely.

    GHL keeps telling its customers an app for iPhone will be out soon.

    You can still control it remotely though, just no app.

    I have the Apex and you can access it through a web page (after you do some set up on your router at home).

    I love my Apex

    So this guy has now offered to sell this model with temp, ph and orp probe for $100. But from what I see is it uses x10 modules for everything. Is this old technology? Is tis still a viable controller or should I let this deal pass? Having a Controller with all three probes for a bill just seems like a great deal. Anyone?

    Thanks!

    If it works And that's what you want ,sure get it. You will probably need to replace the probes if they are old.

    I have the apex jr. I love it, use AquaNotes via iPhone and it texts/emails me if the temp ever gets too hot/cold. I bought an extra EB4 for 4 more outlets (comes with 4) to = 8 and have everything hooked up to it. Along with my ATO it's def one of the best investments I've made with my reef tank. There are some great people on here to help you get it set-up to work wirelessly if you get one. You do need to get a gaming adapter which is usually aruond $30.
