Thanks Jason...Looking good Scuba Rich! I myself would go position 2, closely followed by 1, especially as a beginner reefer. :) This spot will allow you 3 thing advantages over the others;
1) easy (emergency) water changes -(looks to be down stairs)
2) The A/C above tank - may save you this winter if you havent got a chiller
3) If your first tank is anything like my first tank, there will be leads everywhere, which you could hide behind the tank against wall

I am looking for a controller or to be able to make one (Don't laugh lol) so was wondering if you could give me a list of all the 240V powered gear (so I can count plugs and i/o)
Other inputs required?
Calc, Ph, salinity, temp, level etc....
Also, has anyone any experience with any of the off the shelf units? I did read a bit about a couple , reefkeeper. Does anyone use a controller? why is it good/bad?
My controller has been working flawlessly for 4 years :) - you will find some pics here http://www.thereefuge.com.au/board/threads/magicjs-4x2x2-reef.66/page-2#post-1744Thanks for the list and pointers... have you been sucessful building your own? Are you Bill Gates's love child maybe? It all sounded a lil tricky. Does that board have ethernet? SD? Did you get it to work with touch screen?
If you are quick there is a Reef Angel over on MASA for sale with all the bits to get you up and running straight away as the person upgraded to a Profilux.Doing more thinking guys and girls...
