Hi folks,
I've been thinking of making a DIY STC-1000 temperature controller and I'm wondering how reliable and long-lasting they are after seeing this board: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/heater-controllers-do-fail.780033/#post-8259865
Anyone here made a DIY STC-1000 controller? How long has it been running and are you happy with it?
No I don't want to get an Inkbird because I've seen too many bad reviews saying they start failing within the first year. Yes, I'm sure Ranco would be more reliable but I wish they could be calibrated. And yes, I know a full aquarium controller will control more than just temperature and I do hope to get one eventually but I need a temperature controller for my freshwater tank anyways so I was planning on switching the temp. controller to that tank once I get a full controller for my reef tank.
Good advice would be much appreciated, as always. Thanks in advance!
