Heater controllers

[Rippinfrags]

Does anybody have something to control a heater they would like to sell? I need something to control the temperature of my 10 gallon qt tank and none of my 4 heaters will turn off on their own... Or does anyone have suggestions for a cheaper controller for just a heater? Or should i just buy another rkl and allow myself a few more options? Thanks for looking.

How about a new heater that turns off?

I would also recommend selling/trading those and getting 1-2 good ones that turn off at a certain temp, even better one that also turns itself off when exposed to air. You should be able to find something under $30 new that has those features. eheim makes some good ones you can get on amazon or a LFS for a good deal.

controller should be a redundancy if at all possible, I don't think my RKL ever actually turn the heater on and off since the params are a degree or two lower and higher than what the heater is set at to turn itself on and off. Its just for emergency, so I would say start with the heater itself if you can, and then look at a RKL, for what you can get them for used now it is well worth it.

I have two brand new eheims and two other heaters(the brands I cant think of right now)that will not turn off. So I do not trust just buying a new heater. I will look into a ranco controller. Thanks for the help everyone.

I have a jbj controller I can let go of. $40. Just the controller no heater. You can plug any heater into it. http://www.marinedepot.com/JBJ_True...um_Heaters-JBJ_Lighting-JB1531-FIHTTH-vi.html
