Well got my 2 500 watt heaters connected to a reef keeper controller. Pretty cool controller. I can set the hysteresis to give a temperature band to as little as plus or minus .1F!!! Have it at .5 now. Up next is my 37 inch piece of driftwood and my two LED strips from build my LED! Fish will be soon to come. Going to get a shoal of cories, tetras, and soon enough my beloved discus. Hopefully from Kennys June shipment, or a few from Josie.

Glad to here the heaters worked out. Look forward to seeing some pics of the new fish.

About your reef controller . . . The issue I have with these controllers is what happens when the power goes out. If they are digital controllers, then often if not always, they reset to 76 degrees, or around that. So, if I'm away and the power goes out, even if only for 5 minutes, and I don't return for a few days, my fish are freezing. Is the controller you're using able to return after a power outage to the temperature you set it at? Thanks.
