Does the AC Jr have a "feed delay" button or a button the controller that you can program to shut off certain plugs for xx amount of time? *edit* nevermind...answer here http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1004119

Also, if I get one with the serial cable and connect it to my computer, will I be able to see real-time parameters or is this only for datalogging? If I buy the full version of AquaNotes, can I log into the controller through my computer then through the serial cable or is the ethernet cable required for this? *edit* nevermind...answer here http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1023147

Finally, what is night mode (the aquariumcontrollers.com comparisson says it is programmable)?

Thanks

The aquacontroller supports the "night mode" through the use of 'If Time' statements in your program. In fact, you can have as many day periods as you wish (morning mode, afternoon mode, evening mode, etc ... :) )

"night mode" example:

If Time > 10:00 Then DAY ON
If Time > 22:00 Then DAY OFF
..
..
If Timer DAY = OFF Then ... (night mode action) ...
..
