Yeah I want to keep the heaters from cooking everything. I want run my return pump so I can cut it off to feed...and maybe an ato...and lights...I know as I get into this more I'll find more stuff but for now just the basics... I was thinking about running wavemakers on it but they have their own controls so...any advice will be appreciated trust me...

That is quite a bit. Apex Neptune provides all that you need. I've been waiting for the Tunze Smart 7000 to be released, since May. Yet, still no updates on it. If you can settle for a couple less things, it might be more helpful?

I have a DA RKE that will do that if you're interested.
