So who has one? Reviews? Looks like it would be great for what I want done. Any advice or experience would be great.

Looking like I'm gonna be the guy to give everyone else the down low on this controller. I'll have it going in august!

Had one a few (6+) months ago. Ran my LEDs, ato, fuge and return pump. Didn't have issues with it except trying to put halides on it. The internal breaker popped, but so did my house breaker for the fish room (4x250w). I think their good for the price and their forum for help is good. I'm currently w/o a controller now.

Thanks gator that's the info I'm looking for. I'm not gonna run my lights with it so I feel pretty good about it now.

Saltgator · Jun 9, 2014

Cool. The easy setup was what I used cause writing codes isn't my thing.

heathd.hd · Jun 9, 2014

Sounds simple than lol. I need ato, dosing, wave makers and fuge. Should work great than. Probably put my return pump and skimmer on it also I guess.

Sounds good. Good luck with it. I'm sure it'll be good for ya

Well this worked out great thanks r2r someone msg'd me that had a used one and it just so happens I have a maxspect nano light that I'm not using that we worked a trade on! Guess the reef angel was meant to run my tank!

Nice! Had that happen too. Keep us updated!

Really odd. Guys going to do a nano in 90 with it. Be cool if he won. Lol.

How was your probes gator? Sounds like probes seem to not work very long no matter what brand from what I'm hearing.

I have the RA controller. I think it is good for the price, compared to other controllers. My temp probe works, but getting the pH probe and the salinity probe working has never well, worked out. But I am pretty obsessed with my tank so I don't really NEED those, but we all extra things to monitor our tanks. All of my problems are very minimal problems and really are problems just for me and I have not voiced them to the owner yet, as I should. But I like it, it works for what I need it to do.

Saltgator · Jun 9, 2014

Don't laugh, I never used them. Temp probe never used, forgot to get pH calibration fluid.

heathd.hd · Jun 9, 2014

Lol. Sorry. But what I'm getting is they pretty much never end up working for long. Temp yes but the rest no. I am going to order a salinity probe also just to find out for myself.
