The only controler Ive ever used is the Profilux and its great no complaints. I still feed my fish but the auto feeder is there to make sure they get the minimum food.

That new Vertex is looking pretty sweet and the preliminary pricing isn't too bad (especially compared to Profilux). I have an APEX (that I'm just getting going with) and an RK2 that I've run for a long time. The APEX is pretty straight forward....I'm liking it so far except it broke down already and is off for repair.

I think most do actually. I know the profilux does it has a matenience mode that shuts what ever you want off while you do your matenience for a set period of time then re starts it.

Good heaters and a good chiller. Using aqua logic titanium drop in chiller with the thermostat control and my tank never fluctuates from 79 degrees, no matter what the ambient temperature is.

spare parts one must have a backup plan if somethng quits so that your not freaking out and purchasing higher cost stuff in a pinch i try to keep a spare return pump spare powerheads and spare lights just in case. in 3 years i have had one of everything break on me mostly from user error. but some from just bad luck. im not saying hae a complete tank ready to go. but essentials are good to have laying around.
