+1000!!! I'd kill to have one....but I'd have to sleep on the couch for a month if I spent $500 on a power head

I've had one of these for over a year now, and just bought another set for my new downstairs tank. They work great and less than a 1/4 cost of the vortechs.

I'd really like to see a aquarium computer with a much more user friendly/advanced interface. Even the nicest aquarium computers have really terrible interfaces, which I think is ridiculous given the options out there nowadays (Android).

Also, the fit and finish of aquarium computers can be lacking. For example, my expensive $300 touch screen for my Profilux looks stone age compared to a $200 Kindle Fire. The Profilux touch screen is about an inch thick and frankly the software running it can't even be compared to the far more user friendly Android .

Hopefully the Vertex computer, if it ever is released, will set a much higher standard for the industry.
