Any good use for an Android tablet with a reef tank?

[Daniel@R2R Verified Admin]

I have an Android tablet that usually just sits around...it's actually really nice, but I don't have any good user for it. I es considering selling it, but recently I was wondering if there were any controllers or other equipment that might be workable with the tablet.

That's kind of what I was hoping could be done with it...

If you have a camera on your tablet, you can do this.

Turn it into a monitoring station for an APEX...

DUDE~!~~~~!!!!

I am so going to do this tonight with my old tablet or an old android phone. Now to decide on a mounting location.

That's what I was wondering about. I've not got a controller of any kind yet, but am thinking about setting up an Apex. Would that work as a primary control station??

I probably wouldn't use this tablet for this, but I may pick up a cheap smart phone and set it up. Very cool! Thanks for sharing!!

That is the ticket right there! I will need to get my hands on an old android phone.
