Thinking about a controller

Well I've been tempted at possibly setting up a controller. Here is what I would need it to control:
3- 150 watt MH (these come on at hte same time)
T5HO bank
Moonlighting
CO2 regulator
Heaters (2 of them)
I already have a bubble magus dosing setup that has built in controls along with a Hydor Koralia Deluxe wave maker. Not sure if it really makes much sense to go with a controller as I really only need it for my lighting. I've currently got a industrial grade timer that is working my MHs and some cheap timers on my CO2, T5HO and Moonlighting. Everything else is always on.

I would recomend an Apex, they are awesome!

 

+1 on the Apex Top notch support as well.

 

If you have things working, why are you thinking about a controller? My main reason would be to make sure that my tank didn't overheat from the lights or a stuck heater. For these needs, an ACIII would be an amazing choice.

 

if you like tinkering and programming here is a nice option

www.reefangel.com its an arduino based controller. completely open source and has a great community from what i've seen. As soon as i sell my ReefKeeper lite i'm buying one.

 

If that's all you need it to do then an Apex Jr. would be perfect for you and is only around $150. Along with controlling everything you would also be able to receive email/text alarms as well as control everything from the web.

 

Thanks the Reef Angel looks pretty cool but think I need to do some more research before I jump on something.
