help me buy a new controller
Ok background. I'm still oldschool. I want to step into apex line. I am currently using old acII and acjr. To many options out there to buy. Help me get what I need with out going over board and waisting $$$
I want the basics of course, but I also want to be able to control my leds. I am using meanwell drivers currently with the 1-10v dimmable controll on dimm 4 controller as my currant aqua controller dosnt do led dimming. I want 2 ph controlls one for tank 1 for cal reactor. Temp control for tank. It would be nice to have the temp control on led fixture for fans also. I would also like to be able to control 2 seperate float switches one to top off with kalk when ph is low and one that just uses rodi when ph is hig enough. I think that's about it. Please let me know what package I need to get and any add ons I would need. Thanks Roger

Full version comes with breakout box for led? Or is that extra?
How much will all that set me back? What is the difference with the light version and so on?

Thanks.
So I'm sure here the float swiches with for ato right? Do they have any other function? Also do I need to buy anything special to be able to use my android phone with the controller? Roger
