There's watching your tank from afar...then there is having the power to do something about it from afar.

If you have much of your system controlled by some sort of controller, with a computer program option (Aquatronica w/computer software in my case), then contolling the system from afar becomes a matter of getting access to my computer from a remote location over the internet. Something like this

I'm just in the process now of setting up a home WIFI network, so that my Aquatronica computer can see the internet, then I'll go from there.
