questions about ACJR

[latazyo]

I am looking at Mark's site at the Aquacontroller junior and I am confused by some of the options

under "control options" there are CD4 HD, DC8, DC4 Std, and IM513 & 2 CM466

I have no idea what any of that means

I am also wondering about the aqua notes...since the JR only monitors/controls pH and temp, would the free aquanotes lite be sufficient?

dc4 hd, DC8, DC4 Std, and IM513 & 2 CM466


dc4 hd 4 outlets Heavy duty connected to aquacontroller

dc4 4 outlet standard outlet connect to acjr

dc8 8 outlets connected to acjr

IM513 & cm466 x10 controlls and 2 outlets (old style )

thanks for clearing that up Chad, I had no idea what any of it meant

if I dont have any equipment for controlling pH, would I be better off saving my money and getting a RANCO for temp control instead?

You can run aquanotes light to view and adjust tank parameters via a computer. However, if you want to view the tank stats online, away from home, you need to be running the registered version of aquanotes and a computer with IIS installed. Like XP Pro. The computer must be connected and on to access the web server. This is how I've configured mine. I also have it send me email updates twice daily with tanks stats. Pretty friggin' cool.

in the case of the ACJR, the only stats it can send are pH and temp, right?

It can send you what ever you set it up to send. I have it send me pH and temp. It also shows if my pumps, heater, fan, skimmer, and any other filtration are running. Now, there could be a failure in the device that aquanotes would not pick up on but it shows the status of when it turns the device on or off.
