Hairbrained idea for climate control

Back when I was stupid involved in salt water reef tanks, there was a fun product called the ReefKeeper Lite controller. I just checked, and Digital Aquatics has closed shop… But, there seems to be a fair amount of them available still.

One unique feature was that you could feed it coordinates, say a small bay in the Indian Ocean, and it would adjust all your parameters to that locale… sunrise, sunset, expected water temps for that day, & c. It had tons of settings you could control - heaters if it gets cold, fans/chillers, if it gets too hot, lighting, - you name it.

It occurred to me that perhaps you could pick land coordinates for say Australia’s Outback, or an Indonesian island, to get the same results? They were never cheap, but the reef keeping community always seemed to pride themselves on overspending… Ring a bell, anyone? :slight_smile:
