    look at me late to the party. Roberto pretty much wrote my code lol. It was a little tough but reading other peoplep osts Iand having a guy like him always around it didn't take long.

    Read lower. It says on backorder for 1-2 weeks. John took my advice I think and set it up so pre-orders could be made.

    It's just something I decided I don't want to mess with right now. For now I just want the LEDs controlled.

    Later I may go with the RA but most likely I'll just squirrel away cash and buy an APEX.

    Those that have the Reef Angel love it. I just don't have time to screw with writing code and downloading other peoples code then trying to modify so that it fits my needs.

    And Roberto is an awesome individual no doubt. His product just isn't for me. When it comes to stuff like that I'm a plug and play kind of guy. :)

    Then you'll love the typhoon. its super easy, like stated, you can take it farther, but i'm satisfied as is, i get 2 hours of fading blue only that ends at 2AM so i don't care about programming it for the moonlight function!

    Put pics of it up.

    Also do you think the LCD could easily be removed?

    I was looking at the Arduino syntax and it's pretty straightforward, looks similar to Java or C++. I'm a computer science major, so once I get my Typhon maybe I can figure out how it runs on the hardware and write some code for my fellow 3Reefers.

    You'll need to write a working install wizard too if I'm going to use it. LOL

    No seriously that sounds pretty cool. Would be sweet to have that kind of knowledge.
