Sorry to hear that kiener!
Thats the way im running right now, and I dont mind it at all. Having something controlling everything fail as opposed to just one system scares me.
If you need one quick, there's a Ranco for sale in calgary right now. He is on canreef and kijiji.

Other option is going to buy a finnex or true temp with their own controllers.
That being said, id be down for a ranco group order too!
If you need any help let me know.
