I just bought the GHL Profilux elite, and it was a big toss-up between that and the RK. Hopefully it's pretty good....how do you like the RK yote?

I love my RK Lite.
I've got it set to control my lights along with the temp.If the tank falls below 78,the heaters come on.Above 79,it turns the fan on.At 80 degrees,it turns the halides off and at 80.5,all the lights on the tank go out.Plus I can see exactly what the temp is at a glance.
I do plan to either add another RK Lite,or an RK Elite sometime this next year.
I had intended on posting a pic of how I have the control module mounted on my stand for Evan,but I think my computers about shot its wad.:pissed:

The Elite does a lot more than the Lite.
With the Elite,you can control the PH along with ORP and temp.Plus the Elite has 8 plugs where the Lite only comes with 4.
But the Lites costs right at $100 where the Elite is closer to 500.

Don't worry about the pics Yote. I appreciate the thought good sir. I searched the web and saw what the whole set up looks like and that's all I was lookin for.
All I need is 4 outlets.:D My fixture has built in timers. I'd just like to have the temp. control. I've come home to find my temp. at 82+ :shock:. I've put my fans on a timer but it's hard to time out how long they need to stay on to keep the temp. stable. I'M SO EXCITED! I love new toys!

I'm also done with Montis.
Came home from work Tuesday evening and this is what my Orange Monti looked like.
Wednesday evening,it was completely white with no flesh what so ever on the skeleton.

Super nice! I love those guys, I want to put some in my 150 when I upgrade. Do they breed?
That's too bad about the monti - any idea why they won't last in the tank??

I dont think the chromis will breed.But wouldnt mind if they did.Free coral food.:D
I have no idea why I cant keep a monti.My acros are growing great and their supposed to harder to keep.I guess montis are just one of those corals that dont like my tank.:dunno:

Sorry about your Monti yote. It's funny how fast a coral can die.

Ever try a chalice? I wonder how that would do.

Cool additions Yote...especially the hammer. And yeah, I'm sorry about the monti cap, maybe they're just not meant for your tank. We all have a coral that doesn't do well for us no matter how much we try, even though they are considered the easier corals to care for.
