Robo-tank is in my opinion the best, most customizable, and nerdy (that’s a good thing) aquarium controller out there! That being said the software license seems very contrary to the spirit of the Robo-tank. I would love to see you put the software under something like GNU and setup a github account so that Robo-tank users can help to find and fix any potential bugs and to bring about new features which may not ever happen without community help (you only have so much time after all).
Similar to a more open license I think converting the user manual into a wiki would help keep information up to date and bring about more of a community dedicated to improving the Robo-tank.
I believe a metal case for the Robo-tank power bar would be much safer. This is the site which brought me to this conclusion: http://www.beananimal.com/articles/outlet-strips.aspx. Another option (but not as safe as a metal case) could be to use fire resistant plastic. Using fire resistant plastic would allow you to still use your 3d printer to make the power bar cases. I have not put a lot of time into researching plastics but here is a youtube video which shows 3 different materials being torched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg-fEp_BMFo
Make the Robo-tank wireless…because everything’s wireless now! Who wants wires running everywhere?
