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

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.
