I'm designing a new AGA 75gal RR. I want to place a sump and ref in my basement. What I cant seem to figure out is how to controll every thing from the tank. I going to use DJ strips and am thinking about a AC jr. I dont want to have to wire my pump and skimmer to switches up stairs.
So I was thinking if I get an AC jr I can controll them with x-10 devices. Has any one done this, is it worth it and does it work good. I'm thinking that by doing this I cant use any of the probes in my sump they will have to be in the tank? Can the DC 8, probes.... be ran long distances?
Or is there a better way I just havnt thoght of. My sump will be on the same wall as the tank 10' of head and 15' horizontal. I'm almost done with the stand and trying to get a grip on stage 2 electrical and plumbing.
