heat controller

blue20051 · 04/03/2007, 03:52 PM

Is anyone using a heat controller on their reef tanks? If so, what kind are you using?

My tank is getting hot(82.8) with fans in the canopy and one in the sump. I would like for my MH's to turn off if it got too hot, like if i were to set the temp. at 83.

TIA

I use an Aquacontroller Jr to do so.

Ha, me too. The Aquacontroller is sooo worth the money. Much more than temp control.

Make it three. I would not be without one now, it runs everything

hehe, it's one of those things. You don't know what you are missing out on until you use one.
