Heaters

Sounds like good advice. So now the question is what controller do you recommend.

Oh boy! A can of worms on this one. Everyone has their favorite......If you tell me who makes the best spaghetti sauce, I'll tell you who makes the best controller.


You can get a controller just for your heaters/chillers, or you can get a controller that controls everything. I'm an "everything" person, and I went with a ReefKeeper......and it's the older model.....ReefKeeper 2.

Well. That would be my wife. My mother taught her how to make sauce. Looks like I have some research to do. Wouldn't mind the one you can access remotely. Big bucks though.

I have been running a Blueline titanium heater on a Neptune AC Jr. for about 3 years without a issue, works like a charm. Ed, Ranco has been around for a while.

I just got two Blueline titanium 500 watters last night. Going to hook them up to the Aqua Controller tonight.

I have 3 of them, two of them I've used now for over a year and have not had any problems. Only downside is they stopped using the magnet mounts and went to suction cups.

The controller can be calibrated which is nice. I have two running on my 120 (500W main and 300W backup) and I calibrated them together and over the last two weeks they have not been more than 0.1 degree apart.

Sorry. I just reviewed your last post and saw you already recommended this. Thanks.
