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.

This is correct... however the 7096 multi controllers are much less than the 7095 controllers and much better imo..... I think they are just under $200.00 cad. I did a review on this in the review section if you want more info on them.

I'll check it out. Can my mac interface with it?

I'm 99% sure I'm holding out for a profilux...

Of course I did just read that and it sounds AWESOME. I'll already have some cheap timers for my lights so perhaps I should have the controller right off the bat too and just get the standalone doser later.
