Ranco temperature controller
 
Any one have any idea where I can get one in Canada?

One thing you should think about before you buy this is a Controller.

You might be better off getting the Profilux Light II, it will control the temp, give you 4 switchable sockets, control you tunze throught the 1-10v connectors.

WHen I was shopping for a temp controller a while ago I looked at the Light II but ended up getting a good deal on the full Profilux so I went with it.

you have to check used forums on RC or Nanoreef, you can usually find single stage for ~45 and dual for ~90

I've looked myself but didnt see anywhere in canada that sold them. So rather than risking some nasty brokerage or customs fees I just went with an AquaMedic Biotherm Controller.

Yeah, I was looking at that as well. How have you found the Aquamedic?

Hmm, an intriguing possibility . . .

I've had some problems with the aquamedic heaters and the controller. But each time they start to malfunction aquamedic replaces them for me. The only catch is that you have to mail it to them first and wait a few weeks for the new one to arrive... I've replaced their heaters 3 times and the controller once. Its been about 10 months since the last time I had a problem.

I've never had an issue with the Ranco controller

I've had my Ranco controller for 5+ years now, no issues.

Big Al's has them on their website but they are shown as Current USA chiller controller.
The picture is a Ranco looks the same as mine.
