That doesnt really help me lol
I am pretty vested in the reefkeeper. works well 99% of the time. from what I've read the neptune and ReefKeeper both have their share of issues. with the RKE I like being able to make my own cables compared to buying long lengths of male-male USB cables which are pricey (basement sump).
The reefkeeper can do a lot, the SW is alright - nothing great. Neptune seems to have a much better phone interface.
The Neptune seems to be more capable, but harder to use from what I've seen (never actually used one) & offers more modules.
You are fine going either way

I'm honestly looking at the Reef Angel for the 90 build we're doing. I like the idea of open sourced software and also the ability to write my own code intrigues me. It's a little cheaper for the basic set up but if you were to add a lot of options the price gets close to the Reef keeper and Apex systems.
Having said that, the basic system offers more bang for your buck than the other systems. For $220 plus shipping it has 8 controlled sockets, PH and Temp probes and a pair of float switches. The socket box also has PWM capability built right into it.

Some example code right from their standard libraries. This is the coding needed to name each socket on the 8 outlet box:
#include <Wire.h>
#include <EEPROM.h>
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <Time.h>
#include <DS1307RTC.h>
#include <NokiaLCD.h>
#include <ReefAngel.h>
*
#define AutoTopOff********* 1
#define Moonlight********** 2
#define Refugium*********** 3
#define Heater************* 4
#define Chiller************ 5
#define Daylight*********** 6
#define Actinic************ 7
#define Sump*************** 8
*
void setup()
{ReefAngel.Init();* //Initialize controller
*ReefAngel.LCD.SetContrast(60);* // Set contrast to 60}
*
void loop()
{ReefAngel.StandardGUI();** //Draw the Standard Interface}
Here's their website for more info, lot's of info and codes available to look through.

Reef Angel looks promising. Does anyone else have experience with it they'd like to share???
