Sweet in general what is the total cost of one these set ups. Say with a temp control and ph monitor and ability to control lights?
The 7-8 plug power strip is ~65 and everything last part you need, buying it new for the box including temp and ph probes would be $125. That would include LCD, arduino, project box, bnc connector, phone jack connector, temp probe, ph probe, ph stamp. If you ever would later want to add the ability to go online with it, you would an arduino that cost 10 bucks more, so 135. If you wanted to then add internet and webserver capability, add $45. This would give you total control over the system.

Same here sounds fun. I need a flexible controller too. Does anyone know if you could set this up to control 2 different tanks ligjtings? So say I want the frag tank on lo ger then the dt
You could set this up to control X number of tank lights. I have actually done tests running the control lines to the power strips out to 400 feet. The control is as fine grained as you want or as general as you want. Let me know if you need help.

have you looked into the reefangel?
The reefangel is not the same kind of project. Also, the reefangel is very limited in comparison to what I already have working. My prototype has an extensive feature list with many more in the queue.
