AC JR or RK2?

[rnhrtfan]

Looking for a controller for my upcoming project and am torn between the AC JR and the RK2. Give me your thoughts and experiences please.

I think we had a thread on this a while back.

I like the aquacontroller because of the programing language as opposed to the menu driven system on the reefkeeper. Having a programming language allows for more flexibility. Aesthetically the reefkeeper wins hand down.

yes there was a thread I found it and you started it Matt. About 1 1/2 to 2 years old. Do any of these things have a ATO function???? I know they have PH and temp controls, as well as wavemakers and lighting controls (and more) but do they have ATO controls also? Thanks for the help....

Im not sure about the reefkeeper. With the aquacontroller you are suppose to be able to if it has the serial port option.

I use an osmolator so i have never tried it.

well the intent so far here is to use the osmolator so that is the plan...but was just checking ...

I should mention the auto top off isnt built in per say. The aquacontroller has a switch input that can be used for a float switch or anything similiar. It just senses on/off of whatever is connected to the switch.

AC JR for the above mentioned reasons....
