Help with Temp. Regulation

I'm going back to work and won't be home to turn the fan on the refugium during the day. So I need something that will turn on the fan when the water reaches a certain temp. Any suggestions please - thanks!

I run my fans 24/7. But i would think that you could it on a simple timer.

a timer works well. I'm putting a system together that uses a thermistor as a temp controller. You just wire it inline. I have to cover the probe with silicone and heat shrink tubing.

ask a local heating and a/c co. for a Ranco ETC-11-120 volt model. They are only about $60 and are digital with a 1-20 dagree diff. I'm in the HVAC business and use these controls for reptile and aquariums. I found this is the best thermostat if you are a do it yourselfer.
