    hello, i have never really worked with a controller but was wondering if there was a way to control multi systems off of one controller in the same room?





    Thanks

    Apex would probably be your friend. You can add multiple DC8s to the controller and also multiple probes for different tanks. AC&C has a massive Apex setup for all of there larger salt tanks. I think I counted 9 DC8s the other day and 3 or 4 ph probes.

    Reef angel is the way to go with this plus you won't spend thousands of dollars on it plus your computer savy and I know how to use them and will help with it

    Wasn't sure if the RA was ready for large expansion but looks like it is. Reef Angel is cheaper and there is a large community developing add on apps and features to the programming which is open source and based on the Andurino micro processor. Once I land another $400 I'm buying myself one. Wish the wifi was built in and it had a network jack.

    I control main setup and a quarantine with apex. Jus bought a 2nd eb8 and pm1 module for temp/ph along with probes. It was real easy too. Sooo nice. Took me a while to finally dip into configuring my apex but once i did i wish i woulda done it sooner!

    I use 4 - EB 8's and a PM1 on my Apex for 2 tanks. It IS expensive compared to other controllers but it will do almost anything you want/need and, ton's of users and Neptunes support is second to none :0)
