I have a friend who is soehwat of an electronics nut.
He bought a PLC (programmable logic something or
other) and set it up to run all his tanks devices. It
turns lights on and off at certain times and has the
power to do pretty much anything he wants it to as far
as shutting things off and such. They are a bit costly
though, wonder if people would buy such a device?
