    If money is not on option, I think the Neptune Apex will be your best bet. Otherwise you can go with the ReefKeeper Elite.

    Aqua Controler 3. That will do everything you want it to. The Apex is very nice but expensive. I don't have any experence with ReefKeepers, but have heard of some issues with them.

    An ACJR would be a fine (and inexpensive) starter controller. If you ever decide you want to upgrade to an AC3 or even an APEX you will be able to use a lot of the stuff that went with the JR.

    The only down side to the ACJR is that it can control fewer devices and is not as "internet friendly" as the other controllers. Other than that, they work great. I used one for a long time before I upgraded to an AC3.

    You can get a brand new ACJR package with probes and DC8 power bar for around 300. If you keep your eye out for used, you should be able to pick one up for under $200.
