Reefkeeper II is actually a little less than what you have got into your system (about $270), but does not have near the expandibility that the PLC has.

Horrible advise.....the man is building a his personal Saltwater NORAD. This kind of do it yourself thinking always needs to be encouraged, never reminded of cost...He already will have a wife that can poke in over his shoulder and remind him of where to go and buy one.
Nice build.
Just a quick question? Have you called around any HVAC or sheetmetal guys? Even small outfits tend to have random stuff around the shop. A small stainless box should be available for a song from someone in the industry.
