Greetings to all.

I've got a quick question about the controller in the Aquaduct 360XT (Mark II I guess- whatever is the latest).

Is the unit self-configurable, or do you absolutely require the software running on the PC over USB, for the Aquaduct to operate properly?

I've read that the unit inside the Aquaduct is a Aquaero controller- or some variant. The Aquaero has a fairly thick manual and you can seemingly configure most of it's operation via the LCD panel (without using the USB connection).

So, is the Aquaero inside the Aquaduct a TRUE Aquaero controller- can I configure most of the aspects of the Aquaduct's operation from it's front LCD panel, or do I absolutely require the software to be running on my PC?

The guys who reviewed the unit in english over at Virtual-hideout.net seemed to mention that it was heavily reliant on software and would overheat without it. I don't know if they knew what they were talking about, or if that's true, and the Aquaduct isn't configurable unless you install the software.

Cheerio.

Okay, that's what I wanted to know.

I just wanted to make sure that it was a real Aquaero sitting in there, not some slimmed version.

Thanks again.
