Neptune Jr. w/DC8 by FRED SCHWARTZ

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 7/9/2008 from MILL VALLEY, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: I installed this little unit about a week ago and overall pleased except for a few minor issues. First off, the factory clock setting on it was losing about 10 mins per day but I was able to adjust for that in the 'leap second' mode. The factory temperature setting was low by about 1.5 degrees but I was able to adjust for that in the 'temperature calibration' mode. The G8 is a nice feature altho be forewarned that using the A4 slots and A8 slots to power anything with a substantial draw will cause flickering. I realized this when I plugged a compact lighting fixture into A4 but after I moved it to A3, no problem. I paid $225 for the unit which seems like a good deal considering all of it's features and flexibility. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

The good and the bad by Hogall

Posted on 4/4/2008 from Landfilled, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: Get this unit hooked up and been running for a couple of weeks. Things that may be worth noting: 1) If you run 2 or more Metal Halides (250W or more) you will need a HDC4 :) 2) If you used aqua lifer, this device will not be able to shut it off (lucky for me; it only pumped 10 gallons of Kalk into my sump) 3) It does not keep time accurrately; I know you can adjust it on the leap second. But it is PIA to mess with 4) The temp probe reading is off by a couple of degree These are minor issues, otherwise it works as advertised. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Aqua Jr. w/ serial option by IAN VASBINDER

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 11/30/2007 from FAIRFIELD, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: Very nice, works as intended simplifying many tasks. Did not realize it does not come with the serial cable which most places do not stock due to it being a rather archaic modem cable. Sold for 45.00 dollars through Neptune but can be found online for 15.00 dollars. Otherwise a must have piece of equipment for reef tanks. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
