I'm working on getting a 90G tank set-up for salt water. I bought a tank with a nice stand (older) for a few hundred. I'm going to drill it and run and sump. I've got some good pumps, a good skimmer and some great lights. I'm working on the stand now cleaning it up and giving it a repaint.
I've just decided instead of having a ton of space bars, timers, etc under the tank I think a nice controller would be really nice.
Here's what I'm planning to run...
2 - Metal Halide (400w - 2.35A each) - Plan is to run them on the same plug.
1 - Double T5 fixture to help with some blue's and such. (1-10k bulb & 1 ancitic bulb) - Plan is to use these as dusk and dawn bulbs and to leave them on while the MH are on to add more light during peak time.
1 - 24" Coralife 36w PC fixture over sump. - Run this fixture opposite the mains.
1 - Berlin Classic skimmer with quiet one 3000 pump
1 - Quiet One 4000 return pump.
2 or 3 pumps - Koralia pumps for now. Maybe later afford to get something nicer. Plan is to have them all on the same plug since there low amps.
1 or 2 Heaters - Plan is to find a nice Titanium heater.
2 fans - To help with cooling off the MH.
After this all I would like to be able to check my system via my iPhone 4 and be able to monitor settings and such. I work long shifts and being able to get alerts would be nice.
I also plan to get Moonlights with the controller.
Right now I'm thinking the Reefkeeper Lite w/net module would be my best bet. Get that up and runing and then ad the moon light module and extra pods.
Are there any other controller's out there that are simple to set-up and easy to use? I've been reading about the Apex and the Reefkeeper Lite's. So far I'm liking the RKL.
Thank you in advance,
Riddler
