freeduino sb is what i chose to go with - largely because we've got a local supplier here in calgary
 http://www.hvwtech.com/products_view.asp?ProductID=682 (turns out they have the ds18b20's too - thus i can get some progress this weekend) was seriously thinking about the illuminato or the mega - but a bunch of reading last night made me realize the additional expense is completely unneeded, as there's an I2C port expander available to us... so those extra io's aren't a problem.

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
