One of the biggest issues with using aquarium heaters is a general hobbyist fear of their failing in the on position and cooking everything in the aquarium. To avoid these issues, aquarium keepers have adapted by using multiple smaller heaters (instead of one big one), as well as various controlling hardware to limit the amount of time a heater is allowed to operate. Helping to quell those very reasonable heater fears, CoralVue has released their own Aquarium Temperature Controller, which can turn both heaters and chillers on and off depending on the temperature of the aquarium.

The CoralVue Temperature controller has a large LED display and really simple controls. Just set the desired temperature and let the controller do its thing. A temperature probe tells the controller how hot or cold your aquarium is running. It has a single outlet that can handle up to 9 amps and 1000watts, which means it can either handle one heater or one chiller.

There aren’t many more details surrounding this new Temperature Controller, and since it’s mainly price we’re still looking for, we’ll update you if we hear anything.

Hello all , just came across this thread. I got my first one in May, lasted two weeks before the fuse blew, went to 3 big box stores to get a fuse, good luck. I contacted Coralvue and they sent me 1 fuse that lasted a few months and blew again. This time I demanded a new unit and extra fuses which they sent me. Last Sunday I get up and do what I usually do in the morning and check my equipment and the heat controller is telling me it's 98 degrees in the tank. I keep a thermometer in the sump just in case and it says 78 thank the lord! Now the unit is showing 102 degrees and climbing, I contacted Coralvue again and demand a refund which is in process now. I am going to look into an Apex but please stay away from this controller, I was lucky this time.
