Opinions on Controllers?

RWillieK · 04/20/2007, 12:33 PM

I'm considering buying a controller for the tank I am setting up in about a month.

I've looked at most fo the available units online.

I really like the features on the Premium Aquatics LightHouse Link

The ability to look at the parameters from anywhere is what mostly appeals to me. Downside to this unit is it has no wavemaker function.

Has anyone used this unit?

Items I'm looking for in the unit: wavemaker, pH, temp, data logging.

Thanks in advance.

I own a Lighthouse that I bought direct from http://www.mcuresearch.com & although missing the wave maker functionality I think is the best affordable controller on the market today. I love being able to look at my tank parameters from anywhere in the world! MCU also has a program on there web site that can send text messages to your cell phone if a parameter of your system goes astray.

Here is a link to my Lighthouse system stats page.
