needed some wavemakers

[nixer]

i need some wavemakers for a 75 gallon mixed reef sps/lps/zoas

what do you guys think i should get?
vortex? if so which one and how many?

Tunze Wavebox!!! I have a full size and nano in my 300. 3+" wave!

The Vortex are nice but ungodly expensive and noisy.
I use a Reefkeeper Lite controller and two Koralia Evolutions 1400 powerheads. Totally silent, 2800 GPH movement and at only 6 watts apiece. Plus the new Evos are much smaller than the older K series Koralias and designed specifically for wavemakers and timers.

ive been looking at rkl.
does the lite version do the ph controller also?
whats the difference with the lite and elite?

Yes I have my RKL programmed to control my calcium reactor.
The RKL is limited to 4 total add on modules, the Elite goes up to 63 I believe. the RKL has a two line display so can only display limited information at one time. The Elite has a larger graphical display so can show icons and other things too. The RKL has one wave maker function for two pumps, the Elite has two for a total of 4 pumps. I am sure there are other differences too but the Lite serves me well for now. If I decide to upgrade in the future its worth a $50 credit towards the Elite.

www.digitalaquatics.com has all the specifications and differences listed.

that sounds more along the lines of something id like to have since for the price iit does alot of things.

To do pH with the RKL you need the basic $99 unit and either and SL1 or SL2 module and a pH probe. The basic $99 unit contains all the programs and comes with the iTemp probe and a PC4 four outlet controllable power strip standard. you can control pumps, lights, fans ,heaters, chillers and more for just $99.
