I went to the site and looked at what specs they have....I do not think it will do anything but be a wavemaker on most tanks....total power is 15amp or 6amp per channel....this is not enought to run MH or a chiller. It might wk ok on something in the area of a 55gal tank but anything any bigger I do not think it will hold the load required... It also looks like it will not operate x10 controlers so you can not expand....Bottom line looks like it might be ok for a small tank if you never plan on expanding....I run an octopus but would really suggest saving your money and going with Neptune......JMO
It is easy enough to rig up a relay on any circuit you need higher amperage on, so I don't really see that as any big deal. I like the fact that it does not use the x-10 modules, I've had so many of these go bad over the years, I don't have that much faith in them. The soft start feature is nice if you did want to use it for powerheads or pumps. I like it, and the price is right.
