reefkeeper lite ? and cal reactor

[charliethetuna88]

Can I use the reef keeper light to shut my cal reactor off if my ph gets to low ?I was gonna arder a ph milwakee meter but if the rkl does the same then I may just order that instead plus I need a hheater controller. Anyways

well you can, but you still need one to monitor ph of tank, and the rk can control ur heater also

Yeah true I was gonna drip the water from the cal reactor ,into a little chinese food contanier with the probe in it ,then I can take the probe out and put it into the tank and test the ph there also kindda ghetto but noob u know me and u like to save the cashola lol

 

[NYreefNoob]

i wouldnt mess around, too easy for crap to shoot up. i got a pinpoint to control mine and my ac jr to monitor tank

 

[charliethetuna88]

what pinpoint do i need what model i need something that would shut the cal reactor down

 

[NYreefNoob]

pinpoint $200 new it comes with everything needed to control, if buying new id go with the milwalkie sms 122

This Milwaukee SMS122 pH Controller would monitor your ph and shut off your solenoid on the reactor but this ReefKeeper Lite L3 PLUS will do the same and give you seven other options to control lighting, temp, ato,wavemakers, etc. One costs about 110 and the other 269, with all the equipment you run I think a controller would be a better buy

I use m RKL to control 4 different things,one of them is calcium reactor(CO2),very happy with it for the price of $170,can't be any batter.
