IMHO the Neptune controllers including the AquaController Jr. are the way to go.

I do agree if you can afford the neptune it does a great job. It can do a lot more then the simple setups and is programable. ]]> Sun, 25 Nov 2007 14:39:17 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21817&PID=195200&title=fans-controlled-by-temp#195200 <![CDATA[Fans controlled by temp : for what it does, you really can...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21817&PID=195194&title=fans-controlled-by-temp#195194 Author: bbeck4x4

for what it does, you really can not beat the aqua Jr, otherwise there is the DIY attempts at it and there is the controller that LM is suggesting.  My fans cycle 24/7, but then again I have a +/- 2 degree temp variation.
Myself I looked into doing DIY what the aqua Jr does, and by the time I would have gotten all of the parts, I would have spent more, not including the time I would have spent.


below is the price from neptune, there may a used one around also.


Starting at $149.95 the AquaController Jr base unit delivers the highest price performance ratio in the industry and brings truly affordable aquarium monitoring and control to tanks of all sizes. The AquaController Jr has the same great programming configuration language of our higher end controllers as well as the temperature and pH monitoring and control, lighting and pump/powerhead control. Read more here. Now bundled with the DC8 at the amazing price of $224.95!]]> Sun, 25 Nov 2007 14:22:18 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21817&PID=195194&title=fans-controlled-by-temp#195194 <![CDATA[Fans controlled by temp : The only thing I can think of...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21817&PID=195171&title=fans-controlled-by-temp#195171 Author: LordMaximo

The only thing I can think of is a temp controlled switch, not cheap, but well worth the money. It is an industrial based controller switch, used to turn on/ excite most anything to function. They work very well and last for years, if used properly. Good luck, Maximo]]> Sun, 25 Nov 2007 12:41:53 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21817&PID=195171&title=fans-controlled-by-temp#195171 <![CDATA[Fans controlled by temp : There are some made by coral veiw...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21817&PID=192991&title=fans-controlled-by-temp#192991 Author: ewaldsreef

There are some made by coral veiw I think it was..
Anyway the fan runs constantly but varies speed with temp. It was around $50.00 I put one on my dads tank and it works well.
There are some simalar things on ebay but I have no experance with those. ]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2007 15:04:30 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21817&PID=192991&title=fans-controlled-by-temp#192991 <![CDATA[Fans controlled by temp : You would have to get a temp controller....]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21817&PID=192988&title=fans-controlled-by-temp#192988 Author: jeffras

You would have to get a temp controller. I just turn the fan on when the halides come on. Cheaper and keeps the temp down. I know the 2 halides heat the tank about 3.5 to 4 degrees even with the fan running so I keep it on the entire time. I'm sure the heater is not running at this time. Some day I will be able to afford the automated toys that everyone else has but I have to put the kids through college first Wink.]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2007 14:33:43 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21817&PID=192988&title=fans-controlled-by-temp#192988 <![CDATA[Fans controlled by temp : Is there a cheap product that...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21817&PID=192961&title=fans-controlled-by-temp#192961 Author: dukester48

Is there a cheap product that can turn on fans once my tank goes over a certain temperature?  I can just run fans for a certain time frame but would rather my heater and fan not battle because the house temp flucuates.  Any idea's would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Jeff
