I got a ProfiLux Plus II Controller for Christmas and it is fantastic. I did not buy their package, I had them build it exactly to my specs (this saves money by not paying for modules that I would not use). You can always add them at a later date. I wanted 2 x PH, 1 x temp and 2 x power bars. I also used Aqua-Digitals $19 PH probes rater than the $80 ProfilLux probes (they work just fine). I was able to sell my Medusa temp. controller, my PH controller and if I attach my Tunze's I will be able to sell the Tunze controllers. My net cost without the frills is about $300. This will increase as time goes on as I see more and more uses to completely automate the day to day control and care of my tanks. Things such as automatic water change.
I know that ProfiLux looks expensive but do you really need control of Salinity, Redox, Humidity, Oxygen or Air Temperature. If you do you can add them later. ProfiLux just had an introductory offer of $495 that would have got you up and running with about 80% of your tank controlled |

I have been debating over a controller as well. The issue I have with Profilux is that to get a powerbar to control a few more things, I need to spend a lot more money.
Alternatively, the RK Elite will be completely new and possibly have a few bugs to work out, so anyone buying this will probably need some patience. I'm still on the fence.

I,m happy with my RK2. But besides a Ranco temp. controller, its the only one I have owned, so no comparison.

Yeah...the biomatix thing is pretty sweet. I think they have a media kit on there. I know its fully expandable. And they're selling them now if you call. There's a place in Houston called fish gallery that has one setup. If you google biomatix, you can find some pix of a setup at the Biomatix office from some guy's blog. The coolest part is all the remote monitoring features which they aren't "selling" enough. You can control the thing from your iphone if you've got one!
