First thing I would have to know is whether your pump is wall voltage (120VAC US or 240VAC Euro) or 12VDC from the power supply for the system.

With this information, we can draw a circuit diagram with simple parts.

ok kool, well i havnt got all my parts yet but i do have a pump.
my pump if 240VAC (AU) and im planing to run it of mains power, i just need some way to make it turn on with the computer. o h and i also looked into the LED and im hoping that i can find my self a transformer to convert the 240VAC into a 3.5VDC for the LED. i just need to get th pump worked out first.

and by the way if it makes it easer, my email is seth223@optusnet.com.au
