reefkeeper 2..

[Chef Reef]

is it worth a 100 bucks? thinking of buying on off of someone

 

[ReefWreak]

I definitely think so. the only reason I'm going with a Aquacontroller 3 over the ReefKeeper2 is because I need the ethernet interface so I can check on my tank from school.

Reefkeeper will work on the internet check this link: He doesn’t have the webcam setup, but the stats are there and he can turn light off and on at will. I got it over the other brands mostly for the flush mount look.

Will the reefkeeper2 upload the log of data when it connects to PC? If so, how much does it buffer? Couple of days worth?

See, the thing is that I don't want to have a PC doing that. I want the unit to do it itself and just have it's own ethernet jack. My tank is downstairs, and while I do have spare laptops and whatnot, I would just rather not have to deal with the PITA that is computers. I know enough about computers to know that I hate them and would do anything to stay away from trying to get another one running 24/7.

Thank you for the info though. It's really cool. Just not my gig.

and actually, if you've come across anyone setting up a page like that coming DIRECTLY from an AC3, PLEASE let me know, because I want to get the AC3 for its built in web server, but want some dynamic graphs and current lighting/pump/etc status, which the AC3 gives what looks like a VERY basic readout of current temp, ph, etc.

I understand that sacrifices have to be made whether having the computer or the built in or whatnot.
