    Herpstats with Johnson and hydrofarm failsafes. I have nothing to complain about other than the herpstats software reporting doesn't work on macs. I might go with ecozone controllers doing it again as it will direct connect to the internet and the settings can be checked and altered remotely as well as email/text message alerts. I hate being away and not checking...

    Re: What Thermostats do you use?

    I am currently using a Ranco for my rack but will be getting a Herpstat soon.

    I'm using helix and ve-200s. I like both and they are proportional thermostats which I prefer.

    I've got a Herpstat II ND and a Helix 1000. The Helix is on my quarantine rack (6 areas of 11" w x 12" l Flex watt) and the Herpstat is on my AP 9-slot rack. I prefer the Herpstat, personally. It holds temps better and seems to be truer to the actual temp that's programmed as opposed to the Helix. It's a little easier to use for functions and checking/setting temps but ultimately it's personal choice.

    I've had a Johnsons Controls for 4 years with no issue. I just picked up a new rack and a VE200 this weekend and it seems to be working fine.
