Reef Angel because its open sourced and can anything you will ever want it to do. Great customer service and as mentioned before a very active forum for anything you need help with.

This is always a hot topic. I have a reef keeper lite and love it. Apex from what i see and hear is awesome. the biggest difference most users notice is the reef keeper is very basic compared the the apex which is more complex. i think apex has more options. I used my reefkeeper for ato,skimmer,heater and fuge light. has never failed me yet! Eighter way you go its a win win!

I have had the Reef Keeper Lite Plus, Apex JR, & Full Apex. My vote is for Full Apex or Apex Gold Package, as the Apex is the most user friendly and has the best software and support. Not to mention, the modules, parts, etc... are the easiest to find locally. If you plan on monitoring PH, ORP, Etc.., go ahead and buy the Plus or Gold package and save a little dough.

Can't comment on Reef Angel+, would like to get my hands on one though to give it a go. The Reef Angel is not as pretty and neat as the Apex, but it does have cool modules and attachments. It seems like it would be the best controller for DIY LED control, as it has PWM dimming support.

In the end though, IMO, the Apex beats the socks off the Reef Keeper systems. Apex has way better software, great hardware, and a large user community to turn to when you have questions.

I will be upgrading to a apex very soon once my frag tank build goes up

I like my apex better than I did my rk.
