This is great info! I have an ato - am amazed at the difference in stability it provides in a day! I do wish I had a bigger tank to hold the water....
Controller - I need to get one - any recommendations? Auto feeder - I might look into this as well. I feed every night, but there are times I'm home late so the fish don't get fed. I do like feeding the fish though - fun to watch and easy to interact with at the time and I think they recognize its me that feeds them because they don't respond the same to others or at least I think this is so.... I have a float valve for my RO container, just haven't installed it yet.... I'm going to increase my water changes for the next while before buying a doser, everything is low right now. Do you all dose even with frequent changes - I guess this is system dependant on what you have so hard to say... Easier water changes....I think I'm stuck for now lugging jugs of water from the basement.

The only controler Ive ever used is the Profilux and its great no complaints. I still feed my fish but the auto feeder is there to make sure they get the minimum food.

That new Vertex is looking pretty sweet and the preliminary pricing isn't too bad (especially compared to Profilux). I have an APEX (that I'm just getting going with) and an RK2 that I've run for a long time. The APEX is pretty straight forward....I'm liking it so far except it broke down already and is off for repair.

I think most do actually. I know the profilux does it has a matenience mode that shuts what ever you want off while you do your matenience for a set period of time then re starts it.

Good heaters and a good chiller. Using aqua logic titanium drop in chiller with the thermostat control and my tank never fluctuates from 79 degrees, no matter what the ambient temperature is.
