Budget controller?

[Saltwaterscrub2]

I have been looking for the apex junior controller but since they are discontinued I have yet to see one. Do you guys have any recommendations? (Not too expensive) hmm I will say 2-300 max

I would look in the market place here and on other forums for used Apex JRs if that's what you would like. GHL has a budget controller thats close to your budget that might work, is there a particular reason you want to grab a controller right now instead of waiting it out until you have the budget for a full size system?

GHLs mini controller...

You could also get the 4E (Similar to the Apex EL) which is exponentially more expandable but doesn't come with much out of the box either...

Your other option might be this if you are looking for something basic...

Just automated my whole aquarium for $70

After trying out a neptune apex and then going to a ghl profilux 4 I am finally happy with my setup. The best thing is it is all voice controlled now with the rest of my house using Alexa. Light schedules, Heaters, Powerheads, Skimmer, Return Pump are all controlled using a simple app and one...

1. I am a broke college student
2. I have a 25 g tank
and someone with previous experience recommended me that I get a apex jr, what forums would I look at?

I'd go with the ghl mini over the apex personally.

Go on here to marketplace in the fours, there’s always controllers on there for pretty cheap

There’s a whole apex classic that in here right now for 300
