    Thought of that.

    Ideally I would like to find a controller that could accomplish the following.

    1. Temp sensor that shuts down specific outlets when over a certain temp

    2. Have one outlet dedicated to run an ATO pump and switch, have this outlet disabled when the skimmer is running.

    3. Have skimmer plugged in to one outlet with a float switch in collection cup to shut down in event of overflow.

    Reef Angel can accomplish all of this with just the basic unit, no extra add one needed.

    That is a bit more than the reef keeper, will it accomplish the same thing?

    And then some. It can do anything and everything you need it to. You may need/want to add an accessory or expansion module as you go, but I have been very happy with mine (I have 3 of them on different tanks).

    FYI that is a great deal. That's the RKE which isthe upgraded version of the RKL. It does look like you need a PH and Temp probe though which can be purchased seperately. I've got the RKL setup with the SLI module, 2- PC4 modules, Ph / Temp probes, 2 float switches. There is definitly a learning curve with the programming. it's much easier to do if you can hook it up to a computer and use My Reef which id efintly recommend.

    If you can get past the learning curve of the programming.. you will not be disappointed with that setup. It will accomplishe verything your asking for above and much more.

    I run the Tunze Osomolator Nano on my Fusion 20 with a 5 gal tank with a trimmed down cutting board for a lid as my RODI reservoir. It works great !!
