Can you tell me how many watts the basic Reef Angel draw with just the pH module and also the wifi unit?
Many thanks

That would be cool if you could. I am running an experiment at the moment to see how low I can go running my nano so want to keep wattage as low as possible.
Many thanks

Did anyone work out how many watts the controller uses in it default settings?

Go buy yourself a Kill-a-watt tester. One of the best $20 bucks you will ever spend.
You can test amps, watts, kilowatts per hour. Its really useful for all kind of testing.
Search amazon for Killawatt.....just saw it for like $16

It's very little. What will consume energy is the equipment you connect to it.
Would you mind sharing what you have in mind?
