Hey nice score with the pic...with 144 gallons of water he may be a rare sight...I spotted my pom pom for the first time in months.... hopefully "pinkilicious"stays in the open more....very cool little critter for sure....

to answer your question....my temp setup is a little complicated....desired temp is centered around 77F...with lots of, if temp hits 80F then fan comes on....if temp hit 84F then lights turn off etc, etc...

Actually luckily we have spotted Pinkalicious most days! Very cool crab indeed!

Doug does your tank temp remain fairly close to desired temp with the exception of summer etc. I have the settings as well with fan coming on when temp hits26.7 and MH going off when ....etc but it just seems to swing a heck of alot from 25.5 to 27.1 yesterday and this am. Trying a different heater today.

My temp does swing a few degrees too.....you basically have a few hundred watts of heat on top of your tank now, so you will get temperature swings when the lights are on....kinda unavoidable unless you run a chiller.

Now that I think about it... As soon as you plugged in the controller it should have been running my original program that I setup.. I got a fan at home if you want it...

Yup, I figured out the program Josh but I altered it somewhat. Just thought the temp would be more constant.
