tidalsculpin Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I am considering puting on a controller to a tank mainly to watch ph and temp for the data in my classroom. How many of you use a controller and for what reasons? What controllers do you like the best? Do you find that one has easy to use software that connects to PCs or to (god forbid!!) a mac? These are my possibilities; Lighthouse Premium Aquatics? Web access and low priced. A Reefkeeper2? A aquacontroller jr? A used higher end item- like an aqIII or an octopus 3000?

H20cooled Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I've used the AC jr and I now use the AC3, both are great controllers and I have had zero problems with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidalsculpin Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 Do you have the serial port setup to a pc? How's that work for ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 On my AC3 it has an ethernet port built in and a web server so there is no need for the serial port also it would work fine with a MAC because its just a web page you go to. I also have the ACjr on my other tank but I do not use the serial on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
