Also looking at your other pics.. did you plumb your RO/DI directly to your sump for your ATO?
I am still working on the Arduino. What I have so far is:
1. Temperature for both hood and water.
2. PH probe working with Arduino.

What I need to still do:
1. Wire the 5v - 120V relays for controlling, lights, ATO, Dosing Pumps, exhaust fan.
2. Ethernet shield and data logging.

I have all the parts I just need to get down to putting it all together.

As for the sump



I do have the ATO running directly into the the RO/DI. I have it on the BRS ATO switch and set to a timer that turns it on for an hour early evening and early morning. The waste water goes back out to the garage and the drain on the other side of the wall there.

I would like to build a mixing tank for my water changes that is tied into the system. It would sit in the garage as well and once the water goes down the drain on the sump side I could pump the new saltwater through the wall into the sump.

All in due time.
