Ranco controller

[Mastiffsrule]

I have had a Ranco attached to a titanium heater for years. So reliable, never even remembere it there. Will never use another heater again

Originally had a bunch of cheap glass heaters on the Ranco. Set them ~84 and would set the Ranco to whatever I needed to so the heaters would be run by the Ranco and the heaters would only "use" their built-in thermostats and shut off over 84 degrees or so. The Ranco was plugged into the Apex which would cut power to that outlet if the temp goes over 85 as well.

Now I just use some titanium heating elements, no thermostats built in. The Ranco runs the show and I still have the Apex to cut power if necessary, but I would have no problem running with just the Ranco on its own.

Does anyone have a link to the type we should be using for our reefs?
