Aqualogic Temperature Controller Question

[AquaDan]

I just picked up the dual stage controller. Can you run two heaters off this thing? I figured that you could but I see that one side appears to be for a chiller. Has anyone been able to control two heaters with this?

User manual?....

Yes you can. I never used two heaters but you can set both to come on at the same time. Just set both sides the same...

You could use a splitter on the heater side to break out the plug for both and still have the second outlet for a chiller..

Manual is actually a sheet of paper and is not much help...

Thanks Dre. I finally figured that out over the weekend. I'm testing it now on a 40 gallon brute before I hook it up to the tank. Now that its getting colder I'm noticing a 3 degree temp swing and I'm hoping that this controller helps keep the temp steady.

That's an interesting idea! Have you tried that?

I have only one heater on my tank...but its pretty common to have it setup that way on other controllers so why not

I would be careful splitting the plug if your running large heaters (500w and above).
Check the specs for the controller first.
