Which Neptune controller best suits my tank?
 

So I am looking at adding a Neptune controller to my 180G Office tank.

What I have on the tank consists of the following.

- Skimmer w/ feed pump (2 power cords)
- Return Pump
- Heater
- ATO
- 2 MH Ballasts
- 4x Korallia Pumps


Now I had originally thought Apex Jr with an EB8 would be the best route as I would have 12 outlets, for 11 power cords. But the controllers lacks the possibility of future additions such as pH probe, etc.

I then thought I might as well go with the Apex Lite to get the option for future expansion with the controller and would cost about the same, but I loose out on 4 power outlets unless I drop more money for a EB4 (which I'm not keen on).

What option do you guys feel is the better one to take?

If I go Lite, what devices would you guys connect to it?

another option is the reefkeeper elite. I'd go big with all the bells and whistles. You'll find that getting the little extras will get more pricey over time.

Not a fan of Reef Keeper systems anymore (and I've got one at home)

I mainly want and Apex for the built in web-server and iphone connectivity/control. It is an office tank which means it's typically only viewed 5 days a week (sometimes 6 if someone works the weekend, even then it's only fed) . When I'm away on vacation I want to be able to check in on it whenever I want or get the alerts.

The capability to do that with RKE is all extra.. and the 2 places I'm looking at either don't offer it or don't offer DA products at all.
