I've been using this unit for over two years turning off and on a couple of fans to cool the tank. It does a great job of eliminating the needing for a refrigerant cooler and maintaining the temperature just at 80 F. Even with 650 watts of lighting on a 45 g tank.

Single Stage Controller: 1/5-1/2 Hp (115V) Units
Manufacturer: Aqua Logic

Price: $120.00

Description: Single-stage temperature controller used to control a 1/5 - 1/2 Hp (115V operation) chiller. Can also be used to control a heater. Unit features a digital display, NEMA Type 4X Outdoor plastic housing and watertight temperature probe with 8-foot cable. Temperature Differential Range: 1° F to 30° F (1° C to 17° C).

well some feed back. aquacontroller works marvelously well. top of hood with all on runs at 92 degrees. my system is designed to work with a max. hood temp. of apprx. 110 degrees so it appears initially im in the window of acceptability. cutting off one fan developed a temp increase twards 100 degrees. this was all with doors closed. in the event of a fan failure the doors can be opened to assit cooling in an emergency. anyway my feed back on the aqua controller JR is very positive even though the price is higher than alternatives. max. amount of equipment is connected to the controller. 12 items. will run another test when the water is in. ( heat transfered to the water will be handled with a chiller.
