imo the apex is the only controller that will do all that, have a good price point and is user friendly
the only one thing that will be tricky to do is the pwm dimming as the apex only has analogue dimming
the only solution to this that ive found is there are analogue to pwm converters on the market through a couple of the online "diy" led stores that are capable of running 4 channels
as far as the leak detection apex has 2 models of a leak detection probe although it is quite easy to diy one using a io breakout box (someone on here made a probe with a couple nails and a paper towel)
also the io breakout box will double as a means to make your own ato
the programming for the apex is quite simple as well, after skimming over the manual i pretty much figured out how to do anything i want with it.
the reefkeeper controller i find is useless for anything other than temperature control and turning lights on and off
