What would be the right controller for me?
My DT is on the 1st floor - My sump/fuge is in the basement - there is a max of 20 feet between the two.
I would like a controller to take care of 3 banks of lights in the DT (1st floor) 1 light on the fuge (basement) heater(s) in the sump (basement) pumps in the DT (1st floor) pump in the sump (basement) I would like to monitor the PH in the sump and the temperature in the DT I would like the controller head up with the DT. I would rather not do x-10 (There will be interference on the ac lines and I don't even know if x-10 would work at all) but I don't really know what else might work. the ac jr has a dc-4 (or 8) i could send to the basement but the ph probe plugs into the control head so it would have to be in the DT (yuck) - the reefkeeper has its temp and ph plugs on the remote module (I guess I could live with monitoring the temp from the sump since the water should not experience too much temp change in its travels) but the lack of "add on" modules means I would not have any outlets up by my DT. Is the only answer the ACIII and treat the sump and the DT as separate aquariums? I was hoping for a lower cost solution but I may scrap the whole idea.

Here is a site that compares them.
I really like my Lighthouse Controller. I don't need pump control I may put them a switches some day though. I like the built in web site. I can look at the tank anywhere there is internet... http://aquariumcontrollers.com/download.php
