Grabbed the DS18B20's for temperature readings (looks like a transistor, i'm going to mount them into an aluminum probe scenario - then encase in epoxy for reef-safety...
Also grabbed a pair of photoelectric resistors - basically to confirm the lights are in fact on... how i'm going to tie those in... Not so sure  Looks like I might need a 3rd shield with just an i2c port expander on it - as I'm going to run out of analog inputs quick at this rate...Highly recomend HVW, these guys are great to deal with - extremely helpful thus far. Hopefully I'll have the temp & pH circuits sorted this weekend. Overall plan, is to connect the arduino to a wifi router running dd-wrt (fonera 2100 in my case) use it for the logging & give myself a web based front end similar to the wrrc project from reef central. Not a big fan of the LCD's at the tank - easier to just log into a nice webpage and see the graphs as to how/what things are happening than to try to pull that same info from a little lcd...

What a frustrating weekend...
Got the ardiuno so it should be outputting to the router, had a bunch of configuring to do on the router to make this work... Somehow I bricked the router doing this whoops; can't connect to it by wifi or ethernet anymore - so it's a whole new learning experience to see if I can't connect to it directly using the palm pilot (pretending to be a terminal) to reset things... ah the fun of programming small electronic devices

AndyL,
sorry to hear your brick'd your router. there's got be a away to reset the router to its default values. Which router do you have ?? are you communicating with your network via ethernet or wifi ?? which Arduino shield are you using ?? did you write the source yourself or download the source ? can you please email me your source code.

it's a fonera 2100; running openwrt - so not so easy to unbrick
The plan was to have the fonera running a webserver; linked to my network via wifi. No shields at this time (though I've got a few protoshields for the inputs/outputs once I'm happy with their operation on the breadboard. Source is freely available - see links above + tons on the arduino.cc forums; just about everything you could want to do is there (including the app i'm currently playing with to use the palm as a temporary lcd display so I can play more while I figure out how to unbrick the router). I'll post things up more when things actually work right My CGI scripting on the fonera side is suspect for the bricking, so I'm not going to torture people more than necessary just yet

No worries. Glad you have everything in hand.
I'm very interested in 'adventures' putting together your controller since I'm also looking at building my controller on the same platform. I'll definitely be monitoring this thread for your progress.

Hi Guys,
I have been making quite abit of progress on my controller so far. Infact i have run out of I/O and memory, So i found this little guy to upgrade to: http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/ They are fully compatible with all the arduino code and are great for a larger controller. My controller is currently at the following stage: ATO Automatic water changer Tank temp led lighting with sunrise and sunset PWM cooling fan control flood sensor heater and chiller runaway cutoffs alarm LCD Real time clock To be finished: PH and salinity circuits for tank and fresh salt mix 4 head perilstatic doser Internet GUI Text message alarm notification. Please see my link at the bottom of the page for a little idea of what i got up to at the start of this project. Now i have gotten a new job i now have the finances to get back into this full swing!! If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask and ill see if i can help out! VR
