    Anyone that has one of the new ones, please help. I am going to buy a controller fro my new setup, either the Jr., or DA ReefKeeper. I like that the new Jr.'s are net capable, but I see that some come with or without the display. Can I hook a computer monitor up to it for display? Do I need a full computer to work it? Would I have to buy the software to set it up without the display piece? I don't have an iPhone, I have Android (Evo), can I set it up using an Android? It is confusing how Neptune has worded the description. Any help would be appreciated.

    The Apex Jr does not need a specific software to program it.

    Without the display, you must program it on it's built in web page. You open IE, Firefox, etc and enter Http://apex. As long as it is hooked up to your home network, it should ask you for a logon name and password, then take you to the setup screen.

    A computer monitor will NOT hook directly up to the unit.

    You can program it from your android as long as it is connected to a wireless router within the same network as the Jr.
