Hello all I am moving my 24G nano next week and I am trying to figure out if I should buy a controller or not . I never had one before . I have 2 PC lights on the tank that are split out at the ballsat to do day /night so 2 power cords there
I just bought a vortech MP10 and will add that to tank when I set it back up .
Heater / Return maxi jet 1200 powerhead
I keep softies
Thanks for your thoughts

Not really. Do you want to get a really step up and down of lighting.
Do you want to get into dosing.
The vortech can run just fine with its control.
The controller would help keep the heater from sticking on but you can do this with
two smaller heaters.
Softies really don't require it all.
