  i was wondering if i could buy the basic reef keeper lite and just add a Ph probe. do i need anything other then the Ph Prob. Thanks

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Rimoun,
  Its certainly possible to add pH monitoring ability to the basic system. You would need both the probe as well as the SL1 module (systems lab) which the probe plugs. The SL1 interfaces with the probe and sends the information to the reef keeper.

  Is the power strip GFI protected?

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Kathleen,
  The power strip itself is not GFI protected, however they would recommend plugging the power strip into a GFI protected outlet. If plugged into a GFI outlet, everything that is plugged into the power strip would also be GFI protected.

  Will this work with a Mac Computer ? It looks like you need a computer to program it .

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Jon,
  The reef keeper can actually be programmed entirely from the head unit (and its actually pretty easy). Using the computer is a little bit faster but isn't required. The myreef software itself runs on windows, so in order to use it with your Mac you would have to run BootCamp, VMWare or a similar setup.

  I am looking to control 2 heaters and 2 dosing pumps with the RKL Basic. The heaters are 400 watts each. Is this possible?

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Daniel,
  That wouldn't be a problem at all (though that would be maxing it out). With this setup both heaters would have to be in the same tank (as their is only one temp probe in this setup) but assuming that's the route you want to go, your good to go.

  What the total amount of Power Bars can i plug into the whole unit or will have to purchuse a whole nother unit to get 4 or 8 more power bars

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Levi,
  The Reefkeeper lite system can handle a total of 4 modules. The PC4 power strip modules are an example of a module (as is the SL1 for measuring pH, etc). You can have any combination of 4 modules. If you were only using PC4 modules then you could have a total of 4 power strips for a total of 16 outlets. If you would like to do more, or take advantage of some other modules like the MLC (moon light controller), SL1 (systems lab for measuring pH and ORP) then you would like the elite which can handle a lot more modules (almost 50).
