Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has a neptune system AquaController jr. I was thinking about buying a control, to monitor my temp.. and ph more closely, instead of using the good old test tubes all the time. Do they do a good job? If you have any recommendations on other types of monitoring controls that would be great. I dont want to get to expensive, but just want to have somthing to help me keep a eye on my ph and temp.
Thanks everyone for your input..

If you just want something to monitor the PH and temp, the aquacontroller is an overkill.

You don't need a controller cause you are not altering the PH. Something like this will work.

In general, your pH will stabilize and not change over time. And once you have your temp dialed in, only a heater failure will change it.
