The Grizz will become famous soon enough
Question Controller question????

OK, I need some help figuring out controller's. I have been thinking it would be a nice addition to my new tank build.

What I need to have on timer's & what I would like to monitor for starters:
4 - 48" 4 bulb T5HO with LED moonlight's, 3 cords per fixture
heat control
PH monitor

Any help would be greatly appreciated with some good detail's. Don't want to brake the bank, less expensive but good quality.

Perhaps a simple GHL Profilux II Light will work, it'll control temp and a couple lights then you could just get a cheap ph monitor or digital tester since I find the constant display of ph fairly useless.

A neptune Jr would do all of that and wouldnt cost very much. If you're not in a hurry you could probably pick one up used in the buy/sell equipment forum.

Don't buy Aquatronica. I can say that because I own one.

Highly recommend the Profilux P3! That thing will do everything you would ever want it to do. Does come with abit of a price, but I think it's more important to invest in a system that is expandable so you can never outgrow it. The Profilux will do that for you and it comes in a nice tidy package!
