    So i have 2 tanks downstairs and on tank upstairs if i put the director in between them do you think i can control them all with that. I have to buy a wireless adapter for one of the tanks downstairs but just seeing if anyone knows the range of it. Thanks

    Its worth a shot, but I don't think they have much range on them.

    As long as the director receives the signal it will work. I was going to try it myself. I have an extra setup in my basement and an extra vega I was going to use on a it. I Would use the vega you got from bill as the furthest one to receive the signal because that has the built in wireless instead of an adapter and try to place the director in a central location if possible.

    Im thinking from all the lights to the director it will be about 25ft.... now if the signal can go through the floor lol it would be much less haha. Im going to give it a shot if it doesn't work ill just leave the biocube on a controller

    I know stores that are large that have more space between them than I think you will Donnie.

    Used one to control all the lights at the store for about a year. Your computer will show signal strength for each unit. I needed to have ours with in about 20 ft
