I purchased a serail to USB converter cable and will be trying to see if it works for this application once I get water in the tank.

The real keys here are that it controls the lighting (of which I have 3 different sets on this tank), it controls the heating and cooling, feeding breaks, maintenance breaks, certain ATO's and with the right powerheads, it will control wavemaking. On top of monitoring PH and temp.
Sounds like something you should be throwing on your 70G... not the 16... hahaha.
