ive been toying with the idea of adding a controller to my nano reef for a while. decieded to go with an apex controller and 2-8 outlet switchable power supplies. i was going to get the wireless option for my vortechs but i dont think ill need it.
instead of using a top off controller im going to just run my ro/di unit directly to a float valve on the sump. ro unit has an auto shutoff.
the nice thing about this controller is i can keep an eye on my tank parameters from my iphone and turn items off if i want.
1 thing i like is if my tank temp gets to hot the controller will automaticly shut off the main lights for as long as i determine or turn on a cooling fan.and if the tank ph drops to low at night it can shut off the calcium reactor for a while.
instead of running a 75ft network cable to my router i just will add a wireless bridge by my tank.
should be kinda cool .
ill post some pictures of the install.
