I was look at alternative controllers and I guess I'll be looking to build my own. No way I can justify an apex. The DA was priced well for a basic controller there is/was nothing in the same price bracket

We are working on a better heater and temp controller as we speak.Really sad to hear that DA is gone. I never would have expected high level software support or customer service from them, but for the extremely reasonable price of the RKL you got 4 controllable outlets with a temp probe. That is 99 percent of what I ever really need out of a controller for client systems. I have people who opt for full featured apex systems, but I don't want a login and I don't want a return pump plugged into it. I currently run my growout system with an RKL and have many in the field. I think they might have had more success if they didn't try and sink company resources into full on controllers/dosers etc and simply manufactured the most full featured and best value temp controller on the market - the RKL. I would absolutely buy a similar product if it could be had for a similar price. In fact I may spend a little time looking at what it would cost upfront to get a few thousand unit run of roughly equivalent units contract built by an OEM. The market is limited but certainly present for such a barebones control system. @Ryanbrs - maybe something you guys could get OEM if you have any interest in marketing an in house reliable temp controller.

That’s great to hear.
Any idea when it might be available?
It looks like BRS has removed most ReefKeeper products from their website.
The software is still available. There is a link at the beginning of the thread, as well as a stickied thread on top of the controllers forum. Not sure if remote access is still available with the net module. I should hook mine up and find out...Ok fellas. Would it be worth it to me to purchase a rke. I want basic but helpful features and it seem it will fill the bill. Thanks to whomever posted the archives. It seems like material is still available. But real question is....... does the my reef 2.0 still work? Can I login to the unit from a computer or internet (w/ the right products). I'm just worried I get the unit. Can't program it, and the software required doesn't exsist. I see there are a few reefers off loading products.
I started a thread for alternatives for DA parts and probes. I think I may have found a replacement for the temp sensor. Time will tell, but it is working so far. See the thread here https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/alternatives-to-digital-aquatics-probes-and-parts.439573/Wow I love my RKE I will hang on my I have a lot of extra modules and stuff. If you guys get an alternative to the temperature pro please let us know. BRS keep up the good work.
