Temperature controller... Whats out there?

[Jetziel]

I just picked up two tank fans one for my DT and another for my sump. I am looking for a Temperature controller that can turn on and off, i have seen a few on amazon but not sure what to get. I am only trying to lower my tanks temp by maybe 4 to 6 degrees. I have plenty of water agitation in the surface but my sump has a light running 24/7 for my Chaeto algae.

I rather just plug the fans to the controller and not cut any wires. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Wow a Ranco looks nice. I ended up buying a reefkeeper light controller to use as a temp controller. Quite honestly its crap, but the websites i went to didnt have much to choose from.

When I see these comments it cracks me up since my oldest RKL is 7 years old and still works flawlessly. I have a total of three and never a problem, are they APEX no but they are half price and work to turn on and off my lights, control my heaters, fans, and shut down my MH if the room gets too hot. And since my AC has been a piece of junk, every time it stopped my RKL shutdown my equipment except return pump as it was set to do so. A piece of crap? Not hardly.

Always used an atc-300. Reliable and really easy to use

lol ok, so, yes it works fine, just seems very cheaply made. Drives me nuts how they dont even number the outlets. They give really poor instructions, you end up having to youtube **** to actually program anything. My sticker on the power strip with the lights attached to it doesnt even stick, keeps peeling off. :headwally:
