I need a little help understanding what Aquacontroller Jr. equipment I will need to control my devices.
I’m moving my sump from underneath my aquarium to another part of the house. The equipment that will be in the sump area is as follows:
- Mag 12 return pump
- ASM G-3 recirculating skimmer w/ feed pump
- 300 watt heater
- Refugium light
- Media reactor w/ pump
- Top off reservoir w/ kalk reactor and Aqualifter pump
The equipment that will be located under my tank will be:
- 2 x 250 watt metal halide (magnetic ballast)
- Ice Cap 660
- 2 x Maxi Jet 1200 w/ sea flo modification kit
- Canopy fans
One DC8 comes with the controller.
In order to control the devices located in a separate room, I will need an X-10 Control interface:
Question:
1. Would I need an DC8 for the sump room and a DC8 for the display tank? Would I need any other "X10" type accessories for the sump room for the controll of the equipment?
2. Would I need a DC8 for pumps and fans in display tank and a heavy duty DC4 for the metal halide ballasst to eliminate “noise” issues with the X10?
Anyone else have this controller and have soemthing good/bad to share?
Thanks and God bless,
Chris
