    oh shoot, there's a controller i was just reading about that's pretty cheap, like $100 i think! use the search option and type in typhoon or led controller! most seem to be $150-300!

    I was looking at the reef Angel and it seems pretty cool. If i got the reef Angel how would I get it connected to this system? And would it be capable of doing the thunderstorm and weather functions like the other controler?

    that my friend i do not know! you're going past my knowledge of expertise, which is small!;)

    What i would say is have patience! go slow! This hobby punishes those that go quick! Get your lights set up, then save for the cool controller! just my 2 cents! the cool controller can wait no need to worry about it now!

    NP bro, its your tank not mine!;) but not sure why you'd buy a controller without lights to control!

    Good luck on the ATO, i'm afraid of them!lol

    Yup exactly. I just want to be sure I am able to fully control my lights with one. That's why I was asking how the controller was attatched to the controller. I am looking at the reef angel and it seems pretty cheap. Anyone have other suggestions for a reef controller?
