Neptune controller III VS Aquatronica controller. (1 Viewer)

[DonaldL]

I was ck-in out this Aquatronica controller it looks like is has a assume display.
I was wondering if any one has one of these?
Will it do all the things that the Neptune system will do?
Witch one would you buy?

Aquatronica no contest.

Yes it will do it all. Endlessly expandable. Zeovit.com has a few threads about it.

Thanks for the info. I seen a couple post on R.C. and I have not seen any thing bad about it but it is new.I am thinking of going with it Instead of the Neptune III system.

Have you found the the price of it? I have not found anyone that has the price listed. I wonder how the price compares to the others?

I saw that Aquatronica one at MACNA and thought it looked cool at first to me it looks really bulky theres alot of parts and it also seems like it could get real expensive with all the little add ins. But I have no real experience with it.

I have an aquacontroler Jr and love the little thing. It would be cool if i could afford the better one though with the webserver

I found it at this link

The price is a little over 1000.00 but you get all the acc. you need to run it and software. and probes and pc hookup.

The things I have read about it on reef central are all great. You do have to use power strips but you do not have to worry about the x-10 technology not working. And when it is time to up grade you do not have to go out and buy a new 1000.00-dollar controller Like Neptune system. On this system the controller is the same if you by the cheapest on to the most expensive one. That is a good selling point to me. And you can hook up multiple probes to monitor two separate systems. They say it will do every thing that the Neptune will do and soon more.

I talked to the guy at Aquatronica and ordered my controller. I can’t wait until it gets here. The guy at the link I posted earlier is the distributor for Canada/North America. He was very helpful. He also stated that he is the product support for the unit if you have any problems, And that they would be coming out with a cal probe in the next 4 or 5 mounts that would read cal full time, no more test kits. Also that the salinity probe was accurate. He said that there was no need in having a probe if it is not accurate. Just mentioning that because I heard that the salinity probe on the Neptune system was not accurate. I guess I will see soon enough.
