A 300W heater, a 500W chiller, the return pump, wavemakers, skimmer and lights — you approach the limit quickly. On a large system, the prudent practice is to split the big consumers — heater and chiller — across two bars instead of one. It also protects the room's electrical circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"It's really with the ReefControl Power that you unlock everything the Red Sea ecosystem can do. With it you can control all your equipment on\/off, measure the electricity, and get alarms if a pump or a device stops working — because they measure the current, the amperage. It's really a great product.\" — Stéphane, ReefSolution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I plug everything into the ReefControl Power 8?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 1,875W total. Do the math on your gear: heater + chiller + pumps + lights can exceed the limit on a big system — in that case, two bars beat one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Power 8 work without a ReefControl controller?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bar is managed in the ReefBeat app. For outlets to react automatically to probes — heater shutoff on overheat, pump stop on a leak — you need a ReefControl controller and its ReefSense probes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference with the Power 8 Deluxe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same bar, shipped with the Control Panel 8 — the physical button panel to switch outlets without pulling out your phone.
