Nah, I have a Samsung Blu-Ray player on my list. I was looking at those Aqua controller's with the serial port. Cant really spend any money until Breytins lip is fixed, don't know how long we'll be in a hotel or something. BTW Eric I have something thats in your price range...:evil: Anyway, to the point on hand. How long do you leave your lights off?

if your doing it manualy just fire em up as norm.
im running a neptune aqua c jnr it runs every componet on the tank from the lights to the multiple fans heater streams etc etc...
controllers are a must for those who can afford. makes life so much easier. plus when your out of town just hop online and you can see the stats on the tank.http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/8/l_29070e0a2d9b471f9f81546f2714b917.jpg
