The glowing eye, watching your tank know as  the: Neptune Aqua Controller, Temp, PH, ORP My X-10 Control center that I built. It houses the X-10 controllers, and Power compact Ballasts/w cooling fan. The umbilical cable connection to the hood is a 24 conductor cable. Of stranded #20 wire
Another shot of the X-10 controller I built And the umbilical cable to the Hood The umbilical connected to the controller.

I built this controller using Radio Shack X-10 modules, and an old AS-400 power supply, that I gutted for the case.  It has about 7 channels local to the housing, along with 2 power compact florescent light ballasts.  I put a cooling fan in to keep every thing happy.  This hooks up to an umbilical cord that I made that feeds into the hood.
