I am looking to control some features for my aquariums

I think, pretty quickly of Perl. Personally, I use a command line
program to turn X10 stuff on and off and call that from programs/scripts.

But perl runs on about any platform you can imagine (VMS, MS, Unix, etc).

Also, X10 may just suck for your aquarium. If it misses a
"turn heater on", you're screwed.

I've got a relay board attached to some IOs from a digital IO board
I'm using on from WWW.WeedTech.com which takes ASCII commands over
serial, but there are a billion for PC digital IO boards out there.

PRESUME that X10 will fail and design accordingly.
PRESUME that a full featured computer (even Unix) might crash, at the
worst possible time. Killing all your little neons and making the
house stinky and your children cry.
