Anyone ever own a aquacontroller pro?

If anyone has any input on a "old" aquacontroller pro I sure could use some. Is it a good controller or was there a bunch of problems. I know a guy who has one for $40.00. I really cannt find any reviews on it.

Sorry I have not, BUMP though!

Thanks for the bump Rev. I guess nobody has ever owned one of these before. At $40 i guess I'll just take the chance.

I run an aquacontroller jr. They still sell them I think, but mine is around 4 years old. It's nothing high-tech or fancy, simply if/than codes on the controller. Maybe there is an older generation of controllers? For that price it must be, if it's the whole setup.

It's held up well and quite possibly the best money I ever spend on my tank. Runs all my lights, fans, heaters, etc. It's might not run complex LED schemes or your vortech pumps but it should do the basics. The pro should have internet access, though.

The pro does, but I'm not interested in internet for my tank. I just want it for PH reading, temp Lights on/off, pumps and a few things like that. I guess $40 isn't too bad a price for all that....

Just make sure it's not only the head unit, you'll need the powerbar (DC8) the plug everything into.
