STC-1000 Temperature Controller Question , help please

[cooling]

Planning to heat my aquarium with 2 heaters (1x300 watt and the other at 200 watt) , would i need to buy 2 STC 1000 units or can i wire them both into 1 unit?

Cheers

I don't know how you've wired your stc 1000, but I followed this :-

http://www.ultimatereef.net/forums/showthread.php?479021-STC1000-Temperature-controller-build

which allows two sockets for heaters, two sockets for cooling and two sockets for mains.
I have two 150W heaters plugged in, run an external filter via the mains socket and have a 12v adapter plugged into the cooling socket - which runs a set of fans built into the hood.

Cheers Crusader , I haven't brought the controller yet as i didn't know if i could wire up 2 heaters into 1 controller , but now i have a better understanding of what to do .

I bought one of these, it's the updated version STC E1000. You can wire up two heaters and coolers with it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Temperatu...295728?hash=item3d2d141470:g:XiUAAOSwiDFYRTBH
