Ranco Temp Controllers
This is a must have piece of equipment in any medium to large size tank. Don't rely on your cheap heater thermostats because they will fail and cook your tank! There is a single and dual stage controller depending on your needs. I use the dual stage to control my heater, fans, and chiller. Rock Solid!!!!

Finally got a chance to set-up the single stage Ranco I purchased from Chris288. I already have a Finnex controller on my heater, so I decided to use the Ranco to cool. I have the Ranco set to cool my tank, via a fan installed over the sump, whenever the water temperature goes over 81. In the month or so since I've installed the controller, tank temperatures have remained consistently been between 80 and 82. A must have piece of equipment for peace of mind
