More than happy with my RK2. I dont however have any programming brains, so its not being used to its furthest ability. Perhaps not the same as some systems but great for the price it cost me. Been running perfect for over three yrs. now. Only upkeep has been replacement of temp probe and super excellent customer service and web site as someone mentioned.

If I had a new large tank one day again, {not going to happen}, I may go Profilux for a few reasons, including some of our sponsors.

To be fair, I think as many sponsors sell the other brands

The Profilux is certainly a nice unit with tons of curb appeal, but that's not enough to warrant the price. All of the top 3 seem to have great support, so again, it comes to curb appealrice ratio. For me, the happy medium will be the Apex. Unless a Profilux seller wants to price one into my range, then I'd reconsider

are you getting kickbacks for pushing sponcers?

seriously though sponcership is a advertising tool for them not a way to buy loyalty, so ya its handy to see the sponcers names on the board and if they sell the same product at a reasonable price that a non spooncer does I would chose the sponcer, but I wouldn't buy a different product than I want/need because I can only get it through a non-sponcer.

now the proflux is a sexy looking unit, but in my opinion it has been priced out of the common person's range. I was looking at one for my tank and to get the basic unit with a couple probes, level indicators and a 3 pump slave dosing unit it was over 1K. and for that 1K I didn't get any conectivity whatsoever. so no internet, no warnings by e-mail or cell, no webserver ect.. with out the dosing pump it was still 800 bucks.

Sheez you guys. I said one of the reasons. Dont put words in my mouth Steve about buying loyalty. I support our sponsors to the best of my ability. If I have to explain why I would do that, then ppttttthhhhhhhhh.

Yes Brad, I understand some sell the others. I just said that as I like what I have read about the unit and a the service from the ones that carry it.

For now I love my Reefkeeper and their service. I just wish I could figure out how to use all its functions.
