Aquacontroller Jr

Does anyone use this controller? There is someone selling the backlit version with temp and ph probe along with the dc8 for 160. Is this worth picking up? Also, I REALLY want to be able to monitor/control my tank from my iPhone and am not sure if I can with this unit. It has a serial port but I don't know exactly what that means, noob all day lol

 

I too would like to know, I am looking into a controller for my tank as well. I know I will most likely end up purchasing a ReefKeeper Elite w/Net but if I can save $$ I'm all game.

 

I belive if it has the ethernet port, then you can over a wireless network. I have never used one, but ive read about em. And that price is pretty decent too.. ill bump it up for ya, so those who have it can chime in

I was going to get the one w/o the head unit, and use my iphone as the headunit and make a charging next to the tank with my otter box clip to attach it to the stand.

 

This version has a serial port, not a Ethernet. That's where I am lost. This version the head unit is the brains. I believe your thinking of the apex jr version.

 

If there is an ethernet port you can pick up an Apple Airport Express for 99.99 and make it a bridge.

My apologies, i think i am too. idk man im just as lost with all these as you are. Its the 150 dollar one... w/o a head unit.

 

Thats neat!

 

Ill be using one on my Reef Controller, most wireless modules are 179+!! So for 99.99 I'm all game.

 

I don't believe there is an Ethernet port, and now I'm more confused.

 

Sorry if I confused ya, but there may be a extra module you may need to purchase to add "Net" to the Junior.
