what controller?
« on: August 19, 2009, 08:01:05 AM »
ive decided to either make a controller with a thermometer and a relay to control my fans on the tank or buy 1, before i get too involved what are you guys using? or what do you recommend?

basically i want it to control my fans for temperature stability and may add a wave box possibly in the future, pictures or links would alo be nice ;D

If you have a few hundred dollars, I think that any reefkeeper would be good. My elite kicks butt.

Ooooh!  That kind of controller! I gotcha.  I also forgot that you are an electrician.  That controller will be great.  I think you can do a chiller on it, too, if you're ever looking to.

Just a friendly FYI, my RK2 has a cooling option for fan control, too.  It's just an option.  When the tank gets up to 79, they kick on.  When the tank gets down to 78, they turn off.  Wait... that may be on my RK1... I'm not sure now, but it's a cool option nonetheless. :)  You know you're going to have to breakdown and get a RKE one day, Mike. ;) :D  They are super sweet!
