thank you. it seems i'll be able to do enough with the addition of a multiswitch and plugging most periphs into usb. thanks

ok what would i need to complete this? (with the tubemeters hooked up via usb).. a multiswitch can be controlled by the aquaero and scripted to do things to an led depending on values. so this could solve the second led problem? (i dont have a problem with c#)

i'd like to run a dual loop with separate temp sensors, rbg led / x2+(x2) fan speeds changing by temp, tubemeters, and flow meters (each ultra pump has one). do i only need the aquaero xt 5 to manage this or something more. for instance it seems the aquaero will only support one tubemeter while i would need both. im sure this has been asked a million times a million ways but i need to be sure before purchase. thank you
