It's not 
I still need to by the wire, wire ducting and some terminal blocks. I was just going to get a bunch of mini termianl blocks that are din rail mountable, but now I'm looking at simply getting a few "euro" style blocks and be done with it. That way I don't have to buy 150 just so I can have 3 colors 
We need to spend some time together, there's seveal things I need help with (acrylic and electronics). When's a good time for you

GreshamH, speck out what you need for terminal blocks and whatnot and PM it to me. I work at an Allen-Bradley distributor and can get you terminal blocks in smaller quantities.

Ahhh man, don't give up so easy. I a mear few months away from geting this puppy running now :lol:
Really though. Work has been 110% for 8 months and that push just ended. I have a few months now to get my stuff in order, before I'm off to the trenches (nation wide LFS tour
) )How many terminals do you need? I have a bunch of Phoenix Contact terminal blocks like this:
I don't know if you have seen this kind before but they come as single blocks that are din mountable. There are 8 blocks in that picture above. I could send you some depending on how many you need.

Nooo you can't give up! Look what I'm playing with today:
Couldn't find float switches anywhere so I'm using this... a vibrating level sensor from Endress & Hauser.
I'm using a Modicon Micro PLC that has 24 I/O and 10-12 analog I/O.
Have built a HMI using Labview but might go to using some kind of SCADA software instead. All good fun!
Just looking for a nice sealed enclosure for the PLC, relays and I/O strips... something that has a window in it. Anyways, will keep you guys updated.

Ok, a new job description and no graphics/ads to produce, so I have time and resources to resume this project. I need to update the program though, I have two 18" linear actuators to raise my canopy, as well as my lighting rig I want to change the height the lights are thru out the day. I also want to ad the Canopy door actuator to the "too hot" alarm (to raise the doors).
Even though I have the tank for this, I'm getting a new one made from a better company. THe owner is giving me a screaming deal. Guess I'll have two 5'x4'x16" eurobraced acrylic tanks Maybe one will turn into the new Reef Nutrition test tank at work
