MP10 or Reef Keeper lite

Alright guys i got the ok from my girl to spend some money, now im relying on you guys to help me out with this, ive been wanting both but if i get the MP10 i wouldnt need the reef keeper, but if i got the reef keeper i wouldnt need the mp10 see where my deal is?!?! HELP!! what are some of the benefits of each?? ive read almost everything on both but now im debating.. Also i may ad, they are both around the same price give or take 10$

with those 2 options I would be tempted to go with the reefkeeper lite

simply as it offers additional benefits, aside from controlling flow

I would go with the RKL..as Steve said it offers you more than just flow options...you could control your heater,fans lights,ato,PH monitor etc..etc..(eg. if temp goes to high turn off heater,if temp still goes to high shut down halides and turn on fan)..I have the RKL plus and can say a controller was the best piece of equipment I have purchased.. the peace of mind alone is worth the money..

 

Thanks Steve! i was doing a lot of research and i want to set my tank up for sps but i want to randomize my flow some more, and i knew the mp series had a really good way to do it and i heard someone talking about the RKL and i checked into im just not sure what kind of powerheads i can use for the wavemaker feature, i would use the PH and Temp probes as well, and i would hook up my doser to it, but my lights are all controlled already with a built in timer and fan.

 

Im just curious what kind of powerheads do you have hooked up to it?? can it handle just about anything? b/c currently i have 2 maxijet 1200's with the eco mod, and i have some hydor 1025's in there as well can i use those? or is it pretty much a certain brand?

 

As for power heads,Im running Evo`s on mine with no real probs(no click on start up),and have heard of people running the sicces also..
..I was running 2 maxijet mods also for a yr or so and for the most part they did well(clicked every so often),but they(the manufacturer) say with the mods they should not be used on wave makers..

 

alright! Thanks alot!! now one last question i found last years model that can control up to 4 powerheads,, and the new one controls only 3? is this true? or do i have it backwards?

 

Honestly im not sure I believe only it controls only 2(this is all im using)..wma 1 wma 2,but I have not updated my firmware in some time(they may have changed it)..you may want to visit the digital aquatics forums for info on that..

 

Will do thanks alot for the help guys!! +k for you guys!

 

No prob and good luck..keep us posted on what happens..
