Any ideas?Dave- Dave, I'm assuming your controller turns your chiller on and off, so you are worried about the tank getting to warm. Is my assumption correct? If so, there are a number of things you could do to keep the temp down for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I believe one of the major reasons he got RK2 was to control the temp. which has the ability to shut off each light when it reaches a given temp. Also the fans are being control by it to keep it stable. Am I right on the money, Dave? -Cindy- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a precise as a controller, but its better than you sitting around baby sitting it for a month till they send you the RK2 back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+dapettit Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 The answer is yes the controller runs the lights, fans and heater. I have 2 timers (not sure if one works) so my lights are ok. I'll just cut back the photo period for a couple of days to a week depending on how long they have the unit. All my fans have been wired into a four way outlet with the power coming from the contoller. I can monitor the temp hourly and turn on fans is needed. What do you guys think of the plan? The unit will be sent out Monday as I am hosting a beautiful acan until Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
