brett did you count me in already?

 

[bad coffee]

Dave, got you already. You're still interested, right?

Tim. I don't know the difference between the lab grade and the standard ph probe. Since I'll I'm doing is monitoring the ph, i'm going with the standard.

If I were going to control ph (like a reactor) I might go with the lab grade. But to me there's no difference. Someone else might chime in here and say what the real difference is.

[bad coffee]

oh, and tim. the only difference between the two you listed is the ph probe. Actually any ph probe will work once it's calibrated.

Lab grade suppose to last longer then the standard grade, they don't read any more accurate than the standard probe. I have used one, don't think it is worth the extra money.

BC, any PH probe will work, provided they use\have a BNC connector.

I'm down for one. Just haven't decided which one.

Brett,

Is there an expiration date on these prices @reefgeek? Being that they are August specials.

Everyone, I'm probably going to order on Tuesday.

I'll make a list of everyone and what you want, and the price. If we get a few more people in, we can hit the 10% off.

Once we know prices you guys can paypal me and then I'll order. I'll have them delivered to my place in Brooklyn. You can either pick them up there or I'll deliver to one central location. I can also ship them to you USPS for whatever it costs me.

B, sorry but I think I might have to back out on this one. Sorry for the inconvenience bro.

 

[bad coffee]

Q you slacker!

So here's the list. Since Froggie backed out we only have 6. SO It appears we're only going to get 5%

Paypal coffee at bad-coffee dot com.
Please include your screen name, and which model you want. As soon as everyone gets money to me I'll order.

Brett, not that it matters since we probably won't meet the 10 unit minimum, but your math is skewed on the ACJR 10%.

Should be $242.10

Thanks, and I'll let you know in just a little while my final order.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm looking to get the AC Jr w/ Temp Probe, Serial Port & DC8 ( I already have a brand new pH probe).

My question is, do I need to purchase more than one DC8? Do I need one for each ballast on my lights, my heater, my fan, etc?

Thanks,
Russ

Each DC8 can control up to 8 appliances, it should be enough for a typical tank's pumps, lights, top off feed, heater, chillers etc...

HOWEVER, the DC8 is only rated for MAX of 6 amps per outlet and 15 amps total for 8 outlets, you have to make sure your chiller's start up amp is not more than 6 amps or you will fried the DC8. For those with multiple 400W MH, you will need to stagger the turn on time for each MH so the surge at start up will not blow the internal fuse. For appliances needing more than 6 amps you should use DC4HD which can handle 12 amps max per outlet and 15 amps total draw.

 

[masterswimmer]

Awesome Pierce. No chiller or 400w MH's here

Thanks for the help.

Brett, put me down for the AC Jr. I'll pp on you Friday :lol2:

Just an FYI for those looking to get the AC Jr, you can only control 12 outlets with the unit so if you have more than 8 you need to get the DC4 because a second DC8 will be a waste.

I just set one of these up on my 30g cube and its awesome!! I have a DC4 and a DC8 each on their own circuit.

 

[opie]

Badcoffee, actually, I'd like the ACJR+PH just like you
And I can paypal you on friday if that works.
Cheers!

Pierce, would it be accurate to say that each appliance must be plugged into its own outlet, not a powerstrip? Or can I have the 6 individual outlets on a powerstrip controlled also?
