I made a control board for my IM 120. I'm happy with it because I can put my pumps in feed mode without opening the tank stand or bending over. I also like being able to monitor the temp. I also like being able to set the light controller and temp controller without getting on my knees when it was all in the stand. I much prefer standing and working with these controllers.
I like having the power block up accessible sp that I can turn off all the pumps, heater and (future) ATO with one button when I do a water change.
I have the lights plugged into a separate power bar under the stand because I hardly ever need to unplug them or turn them off.
In case you're wondering about my light situation, I'm buying them one at a time because of lack of funds. But one was enough to light my current corals. Every payday I will buy another light. Im going to have a total of 4 A160WE Tuna Blue Kessils.
