Thanks!
You might recall an old poll/thread I started about multiple/simple controllers vs one big fancy controller. I have changed my mind not to mention gotten a Tunze 7095 already so I've started down that route.
I'll be running a dual-stage Ranco courtesy of Chad here once my dear mother-in-law in Whiterock picks it up from him. Simple timers for my lights and then a stand-alone doser later on when my demands (and income) increase.
After I got over the fact that the Profilux would have looked so badass I was really happy to have convinced myself to go this route. Many people may think that's crazy I'm not sure!
The doser really is the only unknown now to me. Heaters will be whatever is cheapest as the Ranco assumes all control.
I've narrowed my search to the following:
- Grotech
- Litremeter III
- Profilux standalone
- Masterflex medical grade
I see pros and cons to all four. I'd get the Grotech if I could get one but you pretty much can't. Don't want to buy from overseas and then need help or support. I think the Profilux and Litremeter are close in quality but the Profilux is cheaper and cooler. The Masterflex is by far the most accurate based on my reading but there are so many different units etc that my head spins plus it's not a buy it and plug it in sort of thing.
