OMG, that's brilliant! I didn't think it would look quite that clean when it was finished... beautiful work!

Took me a second to remember what you meant by training wheels but yeah OK now I see - haha, yep, committed now! Neat idea and looks great!

I wonder if you're gonna have to put something over that switch though, like a lockable thermostat cover or something of this nature. (If this were in my house there's no way the kids would leave that alone. "Oooh! Sweet cause and effect! More! MORE CAUSE AND EFFECT!!!")

Lol yeah I had thought of that. It is recessed far enough back that a child can't reach the switch and the gap between tank and wall is too narrow for anyone (including my massive biceps) to fit. I think I'll leave the adapter in the cabinet in the other room unplugged when not in use though.

Perhaps I could divert a few volts to the tip of the switch itself by means of a HIDDEN switch hehe.

Well my better half has given me the green light to spend money to buy basically everything except my profilux. I freelance on the side (designer/programmer) so it's seriously time to pump a few projects out so I can get this thing RUNNING!

To order in the very near future:

- 2 x 6105
- 1 x ro/di
- enough 2-part to last me a couple years
- salt
- dry rock
- test kits, heaters. refractometer etc

Thanks for all the nice comments!

Btw I've been told I can run the tunze without a controller in the meantime at default full speed. If anyone disagrees please let me know.
