But you did remind me that I have a Jace-2(Commercial Automation Controller) which I may have to play around with to see what I can do with the aquarium. @Tim: You can still automate the lights without the use of those devices using the X-10 framework which uses Mac compatible software, although I don’t think X-10 could monitor the other aspects of the tank such as pH.

Personally, I would love to setup an automated aquarium that I could monitor and control via the internet because the technology is there but its just too darn expensive.

Lights maybe? If someone is using it to feed their fish via home automation that would be really amazing.

I was just lamenting with someone recently that there is no good aquarium automation software for the Mac. I wonder what all you can actually automate using this program? Very cool.
