I think its public now but I should delete it. Its real shaky and im not even drunk...

Looks good.

Finally finished the program for my timer. My only issue right now is that I cant seem to get full coverage over the tank. The Fluval edge is a real nice little tank but the way the original light is set up is horrible. I tried to build my fixture so that it would maintain the original design integrity. I think I may want to re think this a bit because no matter how hard I crank my led`s I cant get the far edges to light well. It might be that I need something that extends further over the center opening. For now it works but when I start to add corals I dont want to be messing with it.

TIMING CYCLE/ Im not sure if this is even a good cycle so hopefully some one will chime in.

VIOLET LED`S 6:00 AM 6*60=360 9PM 15*60= 900

3 UP LED`S 8AM 8*60=480 8:30PM 12.5*60=750

First timing cycle worked real nice last night into this morning. I think I will switch the on off time between violet and 3 up because when the lights start to dim the color is not what I want for night time. I may also add a couple 1 watt blues for moon light. Overall it is working great. If anyone has an arduino and wants the code let md know. I can zip the . PDE and email it to you. If I get some time I will put a complete document together listing all connections to Arduino.
