Controller Question

[RockyMtnReef]

I am looking for a basic controller to monitor pH, temp, and control lighting. I have looked at the Reefkeeper II which looks nice but has a 15 Amp max. My problem is that each of my (3) 400W MH ballasts draw 3.2 amps. This plus my actinic supplimental lighting eats up almost all of that capacity. Are there other basic controllers that have higher Amp capacity?

Thanks,

The neptune jr you can buy direct connect 4-way heavy duty plugs. Each 4 way can handle 12amps. I believe you can link as many direct connects together that you need.

I love my neptune Jr. They are also a sponser here on RC.

I second the Jr. Love mine.

Yeah, the AC Jr. would be your ticket. You could hook up each power strip to a dedicated house circuit if you needed too. I have a DC8 and a DC4-HD hooked up to my setup. All my lights are on the DC4-HD (3 ballasts).
