Powerhead Controller... Worth it?

Alrighty, So I will be heading down to my LFS tomorrow (Not really local, around an hour away) anyway, I saw these power head controllers, They look pretty neat, but I've heard mixed opinions about what type of flow benefits the corals and inhabitants.

So my question for you is, do you think for $115 (aus Dollars, so about 95 US dollars) that this is worth it?


Cheers, Dan

Controller seems pretty nice. It has night mode and feed mode. I have a controller on my pumps I like the random flow that it gives. I don't see how corals and inhabitants would not like the random flow as long as you don't go to fast with snyc mode.

I did notice on some of the strong settings you can really pick up all detritus off the bottom and rocks.
