    I've had the Reefkeeper Lite for 2 years this month and have been extremely happy with it. Not only does it monitor and control pH, it can also control temperatures, lights, water levels and much more. Easily one of the top 3 purchases I have made for my reef systems in the last 25 years.

    Hmm does it monitor pH ? It doesn't seem to say anything about it. Or saltinity?

    The apex jr can be used with ph and conductivity probes when you buy the pm1 and the pm2. IO boxes.

    you need to buy this..
    Neptune Systems - AquaControllers - Lab Grade pH Probe

    and i think this, not sure if the JR. comes with this.... this is what the probes plug into, from this module, your JR will plug into here

    The jr doesn't come with that module, I pruchased the module with the jr but I didn't know you need to buy the probe! It should come with the module! Fml... my girlfriends going to kill me

    Dude, I didn't think you'd go out and buy it without reading about it first... :eek:

    It's not a bad controller at all, but you may consider returning it and going for the RKL if you want it anytime soon... the Apex Jr was supposed to come out in June, but I don't think any place has them in stock yet...
