Temp Controller

Whats a good affordable controller to monitor the temp on my tank and kick on/off the heaters.?

now that its getting cold im going to have to add a second heatr to the tank so i was going to add another 300w but i want something to monitor them.

Ranco is top notch! I just got one a couple of weeks ago and it right on.

they fairly affordable? i got alot of things going and the $$$ flow is low as im finishing a full bathroom in my basement.

Yeah, if you get the single stage one then you can usually pick one up off of ebay for $35 or $40. The Dual stage (heater and chiller) are much more.

i dont have a chiller but i have been lucky this past summer no real heat issues in the basement. but i have a portable AC i can wheel around if needed. i just want something that will turn on the heater if the temp gets too cold and off when its right
