So tomorrows the day that my RKE will arrive, I have read it is sometimes a PIA to install everything. For you folks that have set this up, how hard is it? I bought the system that come with the free moon lights, and I am very tech savy.

It is not that hard to set it up at all. I had 2 pc4s an SL1 and net and it all took me about 2 hours. It's fairly straight forward once you download all of the updates you will need!
^ Thats actually a good question.
With everything that needs to be done, I guess I will hold off setting it up till this weekend.

Mine will be there right after I get home.
The pc4 has a 15amp breaker on it.

A breaker is not a surge protector.
I just got the RKE with sl1 & 2 pc-4 and temp & ph and float switch...
I unpacked installed and setup everything in about 2 hrs. Only thing I haven't done yet was calibrate the pH probe. I setup light schedules and ATO. I didn't mess with any alarms yet or feed cycles as I really don't every use them.
It was rather easy in general. You will fumble around for the first 15-30 minutes familiarizing with everything, and then it will be a breeze.

Outlets on the PC4 are not surge protected. You can check out the Digital Aquatics support forum at http://forum.digitalaquatics.com. A lot of questions can be answered there and several folks are there almost every day to answer new questions.
no surge protection.
be careful with SL1, the ports arent Isolated, try turning on and off lights and watch the PH readingits good for just being there, but I wouldnt run a co2 reactor based on its readings.
Are you saying that the reef keeper ph readings are too inaccurate to run a calcium reactor? Thats 90% of what I was planning on getting a reef keeper for
So I recieved mine, and it was confusing as hell a first. Tomorrow I will hook it up and name it all. Then the following day switch over all equipment. What is the long red and black wire for?
