Controller Question

[SecGenGSX]

Hey guys, just thought I would come on here and get some opinions. I am thinking about getting a controller and wanted to get some opinions on which one to get or stay away from. I am looking for something to control my lights, heaters, dosing pumps, ato, ect on a 50 breeder. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Fran

I like Neptune Systems products. I personally have the AC3 and it controls pretty much everything on my tank. However, they also have an APEX model and depending on what exactly your controller needs are, the ACjr may be enough for you.

Here's a usefull website:

I second Tswiftys comments. I've had my AC3 since 07 and love it. It controls everything on my tank, plus it can be accessed using the internet if its connected to your router. Having alarms/alerts Emailed or text to my phone is now a must for me. I have heard of the temperature & pH probes going bad & creating havoc but I've not experienced this. Learning how to program it was the hardest for me, but there's lots of help out there. Check out Neptune on this site under sponsors, lots of good reading. GL on your decision!

Thanks for the responses guys. I was looking at the aquacontrollers and reefkeepers but it looks like the aquacontroller has better reviews. I was just trying to get an idea as to what everyone else is using and how they like it. Thanks again
