Ok I finaly finnished playing with this program for my X-10, and I think I have it set right to simulate a moon rise/set so I went to HD today and picked up a outdoor light socket.

this is it mounted

Sweet!!!

I'm trying to decide wether to go this route, or try out the AB (Aqualine Buschke) aquamoonlight (http://www.ab-aqualine.de/eng/produkte/licht/aquamoonlight.htm) - it's supposed to have x2 low voltage special LEDīs.

I dunno...:confused:

Lookin good though!!!

Hey AJ - I was looking at the aquamoonlight too! It will be quite a while before we are ready for moonlight simulation, so if you do end up going that route, please be sure to post how well it works. I'd be really interested to hear! :D I believe you carry this line too, right?

Hello Mary...

I do think that I will go this way...and yes it's partially because I do deal with the AB (Aqualine Buschke) line. :D

You have my word that any and all modifications that I make to my tank I will be sure to post for all to see - with the exception of any future floods - I'm a little too embarrased of those to air. ;)

Best regards always,
