Take Control of Your Micro Reef—From Anywhere in the World.

Managing a micro or pico reef requires extreme precision. Because small water volumes react quickly to environmental changes, stability is your #1 priority. The PNW Custom Micro Reef Controller is the first dedicated automation system designed specifically for the micro-reefing hobby. It condenses the power of a full-scale aquarium controller into a compact, USB-powered hub that fits right on your desk.

Whether you are at home or halfway across the globe, this smart controller ensures your tiny ocean stays stable, healthy, and vibrant.

Key Features

• Smart Lighting Automation: Fully customize your lighting schedule and intensity. Create natural daily cycles with built-in sunrise and sunset ramping to reduce livestock stress.

• Integrated Temperature Management: Protect your coral from dangerous swings. The included external temperature probe monitors your water 24/7, automatically managing your heater to maintain the perfect set point.

• Precision Flow Control: Fine-tune your pump speed and toggle between different flow modes to create the ideal current for your specific corals and invertebrates.

• WiFi Connectivity: Access your reef through Local Mode (direct connection for in-home setup) or Remote Mode (cloud-based access via control.pnw-custom.com) to monitor and adjust settings from any smartphone or computer.

• All-in-One USB Hub: Eliminate "cable nests." This controller acts as a central hub, allowing you to run your essential equipment through a single USB power source.

Why Every Micro Reef Needs One

Maintaining a 40oz or 1-gallon tank leaves zero room for error. A heater failure or a missed light cycle can be catastrophic. The Micro Reef Controller provides the peace of mind that used to be reserved for thousand-gallon systems, now tailored for the unique needs of desktop reefing.
