Aquadyne Octopus 3000

[Big D]

I hope I don't regret selling this one, but here it is... For sale is a great condition Aquadyne Octopus 3000 with lots of extras. This controller will automate your reef system in so many ways it's almost unbelievable...

This setup includes:

• Octopus 3000 Controller Version 2.0
• X-10 line interface
• Temperature Probe
• PH Probe - About 1 1/2 years old, still works great-no drift.
• 3 X-10 Control Modules
• User Guide
• Laminated Menu Guide
• Aqua Web SE CD
• Oakton 10, 7.1 and 4.01 buffering solution packets to be used for calibration.
• Quinhydrone Powder
• Optional 9v battery backup
• Optional level switch to set up an auto top off
• Optional power loss detector

This controller can control just about anything in your reef system including lighting (set time of day to come on/off), pumps (turn on/off), heaters (set to turn on/off in relation to tank temp), Auto top off pump, Cal Reactor pump (set in relation to PH), even a chiller (needs a control relay due to amp draw)... It stores 7 days worth of parameters in memory that can be dumped to a PC using the included software...



With all the options, this controller would sell for well over $700.00, I'm asking $300.00




If the pictures are showing up as red X's, click on them and they should still open...
