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

spit.fire,
I think it was Vancouver Reefer who used a nail and paper napkin as a leak detector.
I also heard the you can make your own breakout box an easy DIY project without having the need to buy one.
