temperature controller

I have a new setup running reef pi 6.0 on a pi 3b+ The Heater Threshold field runs my macro which sends an email alert. I get the message when the probe measures higher than the value. And opposite, the chiller threshold is activating when the probe measures a low temperature. The GUI won't let...

I just installed a new setup and I was able to get the dashboard to bootup, but I'm not able to select any pins or drivers for any hardware. I assume this is related to an error I see in the service log which says: driver-subsystem: Failed load raspberry pi driver. Error: can't build hal pin 20...

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! I've accumulated a bunch of stuff over the years. All lightly used, low mileage, many still with original boxes, some new and never used. I'm a bit nuts and I keep changing my mind. I buy stuff, maybe try it, maybe not, always looking for the next best thing. I...

I have a 3-4 gallon tank with some live rock and red branching macroalgae. I am planning on adding Xenia, Zoa, a submerged pump to create a current, a small air pump powered filter, 5W marine spectrum LED lights and maybe some inverts. The problem is at room temp the water is 82-84F. I know...

What does everyone out there use to calibrate your temperature controller? This all started because I noticed my Hanna salinity checker is consistently 1 degree below what my controllers say. Here are my options: The controller itself. Cheap glass thermometer that came with a 20g tank: 72...

My chiller's inbuilt thermostat only turns chiller on after 1.5C, though my display tank thermometer doesn't show changes over 0.6C, I wanna get a controller to link to heater and chiller. Does controller turning cooler on and off throughout day decrease its lifespan dramatically?

My heater has been incorrectly calibrated apparently. I just accidently moved the calibration ring. I though I was running at 78 F but I’m at 80.5. I’ve got my controller set to 79F now. Will a 1.5 F drop kill anyone or hurt anything or should I change the temp on my controller? Just got the...

Hey guys I’m looking for a corrosion proof temp controller for my biocube 32 led. Is this inkbird acceptable and will it hold up to saltwater?

Yesterday evening I noticed my temperature dropping fairly steadily and it was looking like the heater died. I ran to PetCo, picked up a spare, and hooked it up to the Ink-Bird. It ran for about 6 hours, and then... Nothing. Back up heater down. Double checked my settings on the IB, and...

I have no idea how well this works but there is at least one reef tank owner on Amazon who says it's working great for him. For those willing to try something new this seems to be an alternative to an Inkbird and it also has a UK 220V plug versions. Also the company has a WiFi version I...

Wsup guys , did a quick video of how I control my temperature for my reef tank check it out if you guys want and if u enjoyed or want to follow , subscribe . Water Temperature Controller for my Reef Tank :)

My sump is pictured below (Ruby cube). There is a probe holder at the bulkhead between the overflow (back left) and the refugium (front) sections. I originally put the heater in the return area. My theory was to have the temperature probe getting water direct from the tank. But I read...

My inner reefing mind says maintain stability and just increase the jagers to maintain that higher temperature and avoid a large fluctuation every night. Thoughts? I have it hanging pretty high but maybe higher? The lights are the odyssea 250watts. im using 2 ushio 20k bulbs and a mix of...

Curious if anyone has used these before? Dual heater temp controller from Inkbird. Super cheap on amazon. do they work? any problems? they stated that the probe is salt water safe.
