Just a leg up here......I have had two X=ten modules go up in smoke....one was a water dripping on it and it went off like a firecracker....the other was a loose wire and it was a slow burn...
No problems so far but a heads up to do a quality ck on your wireing.

how much does an automated x10 system like that cost? Ive been thinking I will get one when I setup my big tank. Does yours have a software interface that works with multiple tanks? I have an old 300mhz PC that I was gunna use to run a webcam of the tank, I could use that for an x10 system as well!

I am using an octopus 3000 but if I had it to do over again I would go to an aqua system because of the system support.

They are extremely expensive when you get everything including extra modules. Unless you have alot of money to spend and want to put it into the tank i would not recommend it.
