I set my reefkeeper up last week, and i love it. I am a neat-freak and like the way it looks all nice and neat (as opposed to a whole bunch of messy timers and stuff). As mentioned in previous posts, the main issues seem to be that people want more outlets (as most tanks have more than 8 things plugged in) and another issue is higher wattage (as MH and Heaters can quickly amount to over 1800 - especially on the larger tanks which are the likely consumers of a $200 power system). I know that i would, as probabaly others would too provided enough features were added, purchase a second ReefKeeper down the line if other features were added to it. I like the design of it, so i wouldnt change a thing about that. What i would add and what i think most hobbyists would appreciate would be:
1) pH controler (to work just like the Temp Controller) - could help with Ca Reactors and/or Ca(OH)2 top-off.
2) Option to 'combine' features - such as lighting time with temp control (to shut lights if temp is exceeded)
3) Option to overide and turn a particular chanel on/off without having the change settings. (for ex, to shut pumps for water change, turn on lights for special event, etc)
If you are able to produce such an upgrade to your product, i am sure many hobbyists would be able to warrant purchasing a second Reef Keeper (or even a first for those still holding off).
