    I'm considering the addition of a controller as well. Reefkeeper Lite with a temp probe, ph probe and the 4 outlet module.

    What are everyone's thoughts on controllers? I'm going to manually set my lights up with timers so all that would be on the controller would be 2 power heads, the heater and maybe one other device...

    Is it worth the $169?

    Tons of threads on Reefkeeper lite and Reef Angel controllers lately if you do a search. Many people swear by them - start a new thread on it if you wish to not dilute this one too much. ;)

    Just bought a 30lb bag of CaribSea Aragonite sugar sized sand. This should hopefully give me a nice shallow 1 inch sand bed.
