Ruth,
I am in the same boat with computers.  It did take me a couple days to figure it out, but most of that was spent just figuring where i wanted the display and power bars, to make sure i could run all i wanted from where they were to be located. Part of the confusion for me is, im not german...and the unit acsessories are. The controller has been out some time there, but has only recently made its way to us out here, with its converted AC outlets and english manuals. The only hard part for me was to figure out the acsessories that i would need to run what i wanted, really no problem of the controller, it is more my knowledge of how any controller runs. Jason at Proline was invaluable and extremely helpful in this regard. That being said, i did pick it up fairly easily, and ive never owned a controller before. Aswell, there a few german forums that i have been given links to, that will also help us english speaking folk.  , though ive hooked up alot of it sofar without there use.Besides, ill be your guinea pig  Niloc, yes it can. A reactor selenoid would be plugged into the power bar, and according to reactor ph it will govern the seleniod. If multiple ph are wanted, you will need the appropriate cards and additional probe. Marc.

That thing is really sweet. What made you decide to go with that over the other controllers available out there?

Albert,
There was a few reasons, some mentioned above. -Cost, over all i got a little more or a little better for the same price as a few of the others. -looks, clearly an easier to read display/s than the others out there. -Quality, i have not seen such good quality probes before, no comparison to any of the other probes ive owned. -it had a few options that i thought interesting, but knew nothing about..such as substrate heating with regular heating, using a single sensor for both but can regulate them independantly. nightime temp decrease option,summer switching....ect. -DCF function, wich is a radio controlled clock, so spring and fall time changes were already done for you.(unavailable here at this time) aswell, time switching can be preset in small increments for the duration of a week or so. -Tunze ready. - I liked the idea of expanding within the controller, not keep adding external modules. Its like the PC, you remove a blank on the back, and insert a card as needed. Also, it looks like they are making individual cards do multiple probes...my conductivity and redox are both on one card, so only using one expansion slot. Definatly something to consider when purchasing initial cards. I have yet to hook up to the PC,or seeing/using firmware so ill keep you updated on that. BMW rider, Yes im glad these units are doing a little more now for less cost. Ive wanted one for a long time, but never could call them affordable until now. Marc.

That's awesome! If I'm reading this right, these things replace the Tunze multicontrollers?

Albert,
I have not hooked them up to the tunzes, though i did purchase the cables to do so. But from what i understand so far, yes, instead of "off and on" on it will increase/decrease power to the desired channels, using your pre-programmed settings,aswell as using a random generator. Quote:

A very interesting note....
If T-5 Ballasts are chosen carefully, ones with no external cut-out (using an internal one), there is no need to use any of your power bar outlets for them. these will use another interface cable, and connected to a permanent power source...so saving the controllable outlets for other goodies ! Marc.

Wow, nice unit. This is the first I've heard of them. I look forward to seeing more on it and how it compares to my new toy.
These electronic controller systems are certainly evolving quickly and becomming excellent tools for reef keepers. The more that are out there the better for us. Hopefully market competition will drive even better features and equipment.
