The Red Sea ReefControl Lite is a smart, essential controller designed for monitoring and automating the critical parameters of a marine reef aquarium. It is the entry-level hub for Red Sea's advanced, future-proof ReefBeat ecosystem.

Key Features

  • Centralized Monitoring: ReefControl Lite acts as the core hub for Red Sea's digital ReefSense probes and sensors.
  • Included Dual Probe: ReefControl Lite comes standard with a high-precision, combined ReefSense Digital pH & Temperature Probe, giving you real-time data on the two most vital parameters.
  • Unmatched Flexibility (Universal Ports): Features a unique digital interface where any ReefSense probe or sensor (such as Salinity, ORP, or Leak Detectors, sold separately) can be connected to any available port without complex programming.
  • Capacity: The controller supports up to two ReefSense Probes or Sensors.
  • ReefBeat App Control: You can monitor parameters 24/7, set custom safe ranges, receive instant notifications if a parameter goes outside the acceptable range, and review historical data logs—all from your mobile device via the ReefBeat app (Wi-Fi connectivity required).
  • Automated Device Control: It includes one 12V DC outlet that can be controlled by a ReefSense Probe/Sensor (e.g., automatically turning on a cooling fan or an ATO pump).
  • Future-Proof: The digital system automatically integrates new sensor types as they are developed by Red Sea.

Integration with Other Devices

  • AC Device Control: To control AC-powered equipment (like heaters, chillers, or skimmers) based on sensor readings, the ReefControl Lite can be integrated with the ReefControl Power unit (sold separately).
  • Ecosystem Compatibility: It is designed to work seamlessly with other Red Sea connected equipment like ReefLED lighting and ReefMat roller filters through the ReefBeat app.

LIGHT

LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.

MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height. 

HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.

FLOW

LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.

MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.

HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.

SKILL

ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.

While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
