Aquatic Controllers

Which Aquatic Controllers would you recommend for a 65G tank.
This would control PH and 2 heaters.

depending on the amount you want to spend i would recommend either reefkeeper2 or the neptune systems. i just recently purchase the ACJR from neptune everything except the dc8, which i will get with income tax, but overall i like it. i have the temp and ph probes and they give accurate readings.

I've been using the RKE since late May. Couldn't be happier with it.

[Bob1]

Who makes the RKE?

[crny1]

Digital Aquatics
I use the RKE and absolutly love it.......would go without it now!

RKE might be a bit much.

all you NEED is a reefkeeper 2 or ACjr, of which Im partial to ACjr. but all it does is control thing off time, temp, and PH. if you want orp or multiple PH your going to need to step up to ACIII or RKE.

I just made the switch from ACjr to ACIII for that reason. the webserver on the ACIII does make programming it 100x easier though.

Check out the Reefkeeper Lite on the Digital Aquatics website. $149 and it is a very powerful entry level controller that is upward expandable. It uses the same power strip as the Reefkeeper Elite so if you ever decided that you needed a more powerful controller system, you wouldn't have to get rid of what you already bought.

I do not think it will be released until the end of January or beginning of February so you would have to wait a little wwhile for it.

So far I am very happy with My AC Jr. Super easy to use, and their customer service is exceptional.

What controller will control Tunze controllable powerheads other than the Tunze controller itself of course., Reefkeeper can't.

[areze]

aquacontroller can, as can profilux(but thats a bit up the price hill)

you will need the controller module in both cases which may be just as expensive as the tunze controller, specially the new one thats coming out soon(7096 I think is the model)

I have a Profilux, Last I knew Cherry Corals was running a great
deal on them, I think it was under $500 for the starter kit.

AC jr. is a good choice.
