I just bought a used RK2. Looking to automate my system a bit more, but have never used any kind of controller before. Need some advice on what equipment to put on the RK2 and on which channels. Equipment I have to plug in are:
4xt5s on Icecap 660
2xt5s on Universal Triad ballast
Return pump
ATO pump
2 BRS 2part dosing pumps
BRS single Carbon/GFO reactor
Skimmer AquaC EV-120
MP40W
2 Modded Tunze 6025
Heater
4 fans on a single unit

I do not have the manual, and was also told that original seller said channel 6 always stays on, but seller I bought it from said he didn't have that problem, but maybe should still plug in a piece of equipment that always stays on (return pump).
 
I wouldnt run anything thats not turned off often like skimmer,return pump GFO reaton ect.. Only run things that need to be turned on/off daily like dosing pumps,lights,heater and fan then you can use empty slots for other things that dont really have to be turned on/off daily but can be if you want like Tunze and MP40

I run a RK2 and I cant recall ch 6 staying on all the time but Im not using that one for sum reason right now

You can download manual of there site if you need too
