But the ability to monitor ph 24 hrs is nice, feed cycles, etc. ones more safety net for temp problems, etc. the benefits outway the disadvanrtages or the risk...

But then again I don't reacall ever reading about anyone having a failure either....

Just my 2 cents
There is no risk, even if the controller fails, nothing shuts off. Basically everything stays in the state it was in while the controller was working...so if it was on, it stays on, if it was off, it stays off.
