You gotta love the second link. 18 total votes and two out of around twenty controllers in the poll. Pretty useless information if you ask me. Try this link:

www.aquariumcontrollers.com

That web comparison has been thoughtfully and accurately put together to truly compare controllers side by side.

:lol: I do love that second link, Dave.

No offense, but that link is more than useless bro.

Anyway, stinky the best thing to do is determine your needs and wants. So... do you know what you need and/or want out of a controller?

That comparison is out to date. I am not sure why people keep linking that site.
Even the RKE has more features then the comparison states.

Best way to get information is to visit each controller site and just note what features they have and then compare.

BTW, the OP was wanting information about the Aquacontroller.
The poll came from a RC thread discussing Aguacontroller and the Profilux Controller.

yeah, that link is helpful....let's take a few items from it:

.....And now in 2007 we are starting to see even more complex systems arrive ......

* last update listed as 6/2/2008

correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't we now 2/3 the way thru 2009??? i think there have been quite a few controllers come out & updates to previos models, so that site is waaay behind & like brandon said, is more than useless

Cool video, but i am disappointed, where are the Salinity\Conductivity probes?

The AC3 Pro has those probes, i don't see how they are going to complete with the other top end controllers when they go live.
