Der Iron Chef - Thanks for the welcome!
Untamed - I see what you mean regarding your reluctance to have the controller raise and lower the light rack for you. I considered something similar for my tank, but instead I think I'll have the lights turn on and off at different times so that it gives the illusion of the sun passing over the tank. You could do that with your separate pendants, too, if you're not already.
I read the RC thread that you linked and it does seem that the controller's functions are a bit blunted with the 24/7 connection, although it is clearly serving your purpose quite well.
Regarding our pm discussion, if you really wanted to keep wrasses, you could also consider placing some finer grade sand beneath the aquascape somewhere that the closed loop doesn't blast and which wouldn't be viewable? Just a thought. Anyway, I just checked out your webcam - very cool indeed!
