Does anyone use these? Boy do they look cool. I would be interested in learning more about them, specifically seeing one in use. I love the way it can control your PH through the calcium reactor, and turn things on and off as a safeguard. Let me know.

Shoot, after buying a $1000 tank and then having to buy more stuff just to get it up and going, you better buy her some diamonds! lol :-)
Also, get everything you can now while you are still newlyweds. After the newlywed stuff wears off and she takes control, you will be begging for permission to buy a $30 coral or fish!

I'd like to see one of these; I'm a little skeptical about turning the CO2 off and on in a well designed reactor. You should be able to dial it in, leave it alone, and there you go. It's probably a good safeguard in the event of a CO2 freak-out, though. More important, especially if you have a high flow, high output reactor, would be a simple solenoid that would turn off the CO2 in the event of a power outage. This would prevent build up of CO2 and allow your reactor ph to remain constant when the power goes out.
No advice on the marital front.....

the controllers I think are cool Dont have Aqua controller, have tunze . The reason I went with Tunze was the controlability . It can be adjusted to the hundreths place on ph. Real accurate. Once dialed in it holds ph stable at 6.5 ish on the effluent side. PH stays about 8.2 -8.3 in tank. DKH 12 Cal. 450 Tunze seems real easy to dialin. Not the cheapest though, Had a hole in my pocket :o Ya right dont we all!!! My other chose was A medusa , just cus it was recommended to me by fellow reefer. His second choice.

Alex - have you checked out Blakes setup? He was putting a controller on his system that is hooked up to his computer.
