you dont need to waste your money on a ph controller !
all you need to do is just get a ph monitor for the efluent coming out of the reactor
when you get everything you need i will be happy to come out and help you set everything up.
as far as the regulator you should be able to check any of the on-line sponsors for this the price shouldnt be more than 70.00

mm thanks for the offer i was thinking of going more in the line of like a reefkeeper or neptune controller so i could start getting all the control to one unit right now i got timers for lights,a ranco controller for a chiller.wavemaker for some pumps was going to see if i could consolidate that all in to one unit and might as well use it for ph control to.im already running a pinpoint monitors for ph,salinty,calcium and temp so if i could consolidate a couple of them might clear up some clutter.so if anyone is selling a controller let me know

I couldn't live without my Aquacontroller...but that's my lazy behind 
One thing....I agree with Marshall Mann about not using a controller...It is not mandatory...I've never used one...but I know other people that have...I've found no benefits to it.
What you want to do it monitor the effluent pH.
And if you get an Aquacontroller, you want to use it to monitor the pH of the tank...This will monitor the impact the Ca reactor is having on your entire aquarium.
So either way you go...you'll need a stand alone monitor for the reactor (because the Aquacontroller II only has 1 pH probe...but the new AC3 does have 2 pH probes).

anybody using the lighthouse controller from premium that one intrigues me not a bad price seems like it will have everything i want on it and i like the way the computer interface works interested on any opions on it.i was looking at the aquacontroller that looks like a nice unit but not sure if i want to spend 700 on one
