I know the apex is the best. Hands down. What else is out there that is good and isn't as expensive. I'm working with a budget.

Reef keeper lite or even apex Jr with jr you can expand
I know nothing about reef lee per lite
You can have good or cheap. However you can't have them both. Go with the tried and proven Apex product. Even if it cost more up front, it will be cheaper in the long run. Don't ask me how I know, but I do.
BRS has a comparison table of the Apex systems here. The Apex Classic system is very complete and can save you a few hundred bucks of the new version.
Before going further, sit down and decide why you want a controller and what you want it to do, then think about what you may want to do with it in the future. Once you know that you can start to look at controllers.
For a basic system with limited capabilities, the Apex Jr. isn't bad. I've heard some good things about reef angel as well.
Other than what you mentioned I control my return pump, Calcuim reactor pump, skimmer pump, ATO pump, auto water change pumps, DI tank refill solenoid, skimmer swabbie and biopellet reactor pump. Also I have the power supplies for my MP10's controlled by the controller.What are the best things to control other than your lights and heater
