Question about Aquairum Controllers

[Thalast]

Hi Everyone,

I am in the final stages of putting together a 33g tank, once it is stable I plan on using it as a SPS grow out tank, and would like to add a controller to the setup. My question is what type do you all use? What problems have you run into with it? Any complications with specific types of equipment that you had? If so how did you get around them? At the moment I am leaning toward the Neptune AquaController 3 Pro.

If you have the cash to throw down on a Aquacontroller Pro go for it, but it may have stuff that you don't need. Unless you are going to be using computer data logging, web access, and ozone (to name a few) you may want to consider the Aquacontroller Jr. It will take care of temp, pH and lighting on a grow out tank I can't see what else you would need.

There are a lot of controllers on the market that cater to everyones needs. You can get them as low as $300. Look and premiumaquatics.com, the have one called Lighthouse, looks nice and is very basic. Heres a list that was put together by a fellow RC'er, cant remember the name. Every controller know at the time and all its capabilities...
