Expandable, high-tech aquarium control system
Bundled package means savings and set up convenience of popular Aquatronica aquarium control system components. Aquatronica Controller Kits goes beyond conventional starter kits to include equipment for convenient electronic measuring and monitoring of aquarium water parameters. Update your aquarium hobby utilizing today's technology for a modern approach to aquarium care and management.
Aquatronica Deluxe Kit is a highly expandable and fully customizable system. The heart of this system is the Aquarium Controller Evolution (ACQ110) and the Aquatronica Power Center (ACQ013). This dynamic pairing allows unprecedented control and management of electrical equipment as well as monitoring of multiple aquarium water parameters.
Included Temperature Probe (ACQ001S), pH Probe (ACQ310N-PH) with pH Interface (ACQ210N-PH) and Water Level Sensor (ACQ300) lets you monitor aquarium water temperature, measure aquarium pH levels and monitor aquarium water level. USB PC Kit w/ Interface (ACQ222) connects the Aquarium Controller Evolution to your personal computer so you can program all system settings, monitor data or view real time graphs of sensor readings directly from your computer. Also download data and run software updates with the Aquatronica PC software.
Aquatronica Net Kit includes every component in the Deluxe Kit PLUS the Ethernet Module (ACQ225). This clever module in conjunction with an Internet or a LAN Network connection provides an invaluable method to monitor aquarium parameters in real time. Receive email alerts and warnings from your system for a tech-savvy way to keep on top of aquarium parameters.

Aquarium Controller System (ACQ110) currently features the following functions:
Single or multiple aquarium management: It is possible to create a system consisting of one control unit and several Power Units (up to ten). This enables the user to manage several aquariums at the same time, even if they are very different from each other.
Manual Control of the plugs (from 6 to 80 sockets): The user can manually control each individual plug of the system. This makes it possible to do any kind of maintenance without having to physically disconnect the utilities.
Multi-Timer Function on each plug (from 16 to 160 programs): Through the Power Unit, this function controls the automatic activation and deactivation of pumps, lights, skimmers and any other aquarium equipment.
Wave Effect: This function alternately activates two or even three pumps in repeating cycles and can also be programmed with an alternating pause if desired.
Tide Effect: This function alternately activates two pumps with fixed cycles of 6.15 hours each (tide time).
Summer Function: This function powers the heating cable underneath the gravel at intervals of 5 minutes per hour during the periods in which it would not be normally used (summer).
Power Cut Controls: This function records the duration of a power outage. If an outage lasts for more than an hour, the outputs selected during its programming will remain deactivated when the power returns.
Acoustic and Visual Alarms: It is possible to set one or more alarms to warn the user in the event of an anomaly.
Electronic Agenda to organize routine or special maintenance: This function allows the user to save reminders that can be repeated in cycles at any time; an acoustic and visual signal will be activated at the set time.
Read and Monitor Parameters: This feature allows the user to measure and display (using the appropriate sensors and interfaces) the values of the Temperature, Water Level, pH, ORP/Redox, Freshwater Conductivity and Marine Density. Based on the values the user can modify the state of the plugs, by turning the connected utilities on or off.
Automatic acknowledgement of devices connected (Plug & Play): This function automatically detects any original Aquatronica accessory connected to the system, and automatically enables the relevant menu.
PC Connection: This function allows the user to connect the system to a PC, which makes setting programs faster and easier. With this interface, the user can back-up the data recorded by the system for future analysis.
Reprogrammable Software: This makes it possible to continuously update the software of the control unit, a feature which places this product above all others in its category. Using a PC connection, the user can update the controller with functions which were unavailable at the time of purchase, without having to replace any components in the system.
Dimmer Function: This function allows you to control and program any dimmable equipment connected to the system.
Connectivity: Thanks to the connectivity modules, the system can be monitored in remote mode. The Ethernet module allows you to monitor data readings via a web page and receive an email warning if any alarms are triggered. The SMS module allows you to review the control unit regarding the data readings and communicate from/to mobile phones if an alarm is triggered.
As a fish hobbyist, it is imperative that you have an understanding of the water parameters that affect fish health, as well as the importance of water testing. Water testing cues you to what's happening in the system at any given time.
Often overlooked, pH may well be one of the most critical parameters in a healthy system. Maintaining the right pH range - 8.3-8.5 in marine systems - has a natural antiseptic effect, helping fish resist illness and coral calcify faster.
Please note: Return of electrical equipment to Drs. Foster & Smith for exchange or refund is limited to 60 days from the date of purchase. Beyond 60 days, please contact the manufacturer for repair or replacement as covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
