Lightning storm is cool, when I started playing with controllers it was one of the first things I did haha, here's a video of it in action. The storms were random or manual, when they started the lights would slowly dim based on time of day and the lightning would start. I wanted and still want to add a rain fall system to go with storm. Idea was a PVC cage above the tank with pin holes and a small pump stuffed in the end, it would just cycle the water in tank.

One day I'll look more into cooling, maybe I can make an attachment that uses the lid screws and holds a fan against the vents. Like that it's only a 3D print and people can source fans or possibly get from me.
The display works very well with reef-pi; I just load the Chromium web browser pointing to localhost and so far it responds to every UI control. I use a stylus because of my stubby fingers, and also installed an on-screen keyboard.
Going back to the fan, I'd be interested in a full product. It's 84 Fahrenheit here today (3-Feb) so it's almost a requirement year round.
Thanks,
José
