Manufacturer Info
Digital Aquatics Aquarium Supplies
Digital Aquatics was founded in 2004 and has quickly become the most recognized name in aquarium automation. Since the company debuted the original ReefKeeper 1 (now known as the RK1) in 2004, they have gone on to create some of the most flexible, innovative and cost effective aquarium controllers on the market. The revolutionary ReefKeeper Elite (RKE) was unveiled in 2008 and the affordable ReefKeeper Lite (RKL) came out shortly thereafter to appeal to more budget-conscience aquarium hobbyists. In 2010, Digital Aquatics released a reptile version, the HerpKeeper, as well as the aptly named PondKeeper. ReefKeeper controllers simplify aquarium keeping duties by monitoring and controlling a variety of water parameters and equipment including but not limited to lighting, water flow, heating, cooling, pH and ORP.

Nice product but I have two plug per light and I have two lights. The power strip have 4 spots for plug but my plugs are to big to fit on the strip. I guess I am going to have to spend another $90 for another strip...... :-(

I actually won this at our latest frag swap, but I love this thing. The instructions were lacking but I found expanded instruction on D.A. website and now it really made sense. I still haven't figured out how to use it with my computer, but you can do it all at the module. I will be adding more power strips to expand the things I can add.

I recently bought the RKL Plus and Love it. There are a few issues that I think everyone should know about. There is a slight clicking that can be heard when using wavemaker function, not annoyingly loud though. When using the alarm and it goes off you cannot referance your other values quickly or postpone alarm/ turn it off, it will keep alarming, but not beeping/flashing just the warning you have to lower/ raise alarm values to get alarm message off.It uses a 6 wire system so any phone adaptors must be 6 lines so that you can plug in sid and I-temp in at same time.Cannot disable SL1 temp port/switch ports when not in use.Myreef 2.0 provides no manuel and graphing requires the net module as far as i know of.
Other than the things mentioned above this system is top notch, it has all the bang for the buck. I cannot wait to add SL2 module and ambient temp sensor to monitor light temp/ and humidity and salinity.Great options for expansion and multiple systems.

Well I had the Lite Pro running for around 1 month and so far it's been great. I have the following running on it, lights, heater, auto top off, skimmer, return pump, and just about to connect my calcium reactor. The only problem I have had was setting it up. The instructions are worthless. Went on line to get the info I needed to set it up. Also still can not get it to connect to my lap top and I'm waiting on the company to get back to me.

I have been using the mechanical style light timers, and every timer I have tried always failed and the timer dials would get stuck. The RKL is the best thing to happen to my reef aquarium! The instructions that come in the box with the RKL are very limited. Go to their website and print out or download the full instructions. Once you understand how it works and how to program it, the programming becomes pretty self explanatory. Another piece of advice is to purchase another PC4 power module, because if you are like me and have other things like aqua-lifter pumps etc you will need the extra outlets. The RKL is amazing!

Once I got the hang of the programing of the unit it has become a great tool. I have had some problems with calibrating the PH brobe and the calibration solutions that came with were busted in the bottom of the bag. I had to go out and buy more calibration solution. Other than that I would recomend this product to any reefer, big or small.

I liked the RKL very much with all the controls alarms, etc.
But when it came to the instuctions,I think they need to be improved, even with website you may find what you are looking for or may not. example the second temp. sensor on SL1 shows temp fault, which is misleading because you think it is the iTemp probe. Other than things like that I love the RKL plus. would be 5 stars if better instruction.
