I would have to say, it's my "Aqua Controller III" by Neptune Systems. $449.95. I would have said lights, because I have over $2k in lighting but that's several components. GLTA | |

I'd have to say it's a close race between lighting and the 65 Lbs of live rock I've accumulated. | |

I quit counting the $ long ago.............lol. It's a never ending viscious cycle. A hundred for this... Two hundred for that....Three hundred for this....And on and on. And don't even start with the power and water bill. Now its time to upgrade. Here we go again.  Ok venting is over. Time for a water change and a pitcher of margaritas. 
Best, Scott

Ozone generator but we don't pay much for light ballasts or bulbs. That's one of the benefits of having a plumber/heating/HVAC guy for a fiancee  | |
