Finally coming back around in the hobby and need a controller to simplify things (basic things and avoid tons of individual timers). I'm open to everyone's opinions but don't want this to be a bashing conversation. When I started looking at controllers, my initial look was ability to control via a app. While looking through my android app store, I noticed the most popular controllers (neptune and digital aquatic) hadn't updated in years. Regardless, the updates are one thing but the reviews are low as well. This led me to looking back at reef angel and today looking at ghl. I've owned a reef angel previously (2013) and using the wizard wasn't hard and it pretty much handled all that I needed. Below is a list of what I intend to control off the start but may explore other additions later.
Items needed to be controlled:
Brs dosers x 2
Skimmer pumps x 2
Heaters x 2
Ato (aqua lifter)
Probes (salinity, temp, pH)
Actinic supplement lights (I run MH so using some reef bites or whatever I purchase)
Return pump
Future items on my list include adding 2 more dosers (carbon source and mag), skimmer waste locker, possibly conductivity and oxygen probes
I appreciate all your help and look forward to getting back in the swing of things
