Thanks Steve, i'll look into that. I found the webControl board's awhile ago on eBay that pretty much has all the transistors in place, and a network interface, as well as a basic logic controller/timer. Only issue was the amount of SSR's needed to drive any components. This Labview route looks great, some prebuilt stuff on EBay for pretty cheap, even found a RS232 card that take's analog and has 10A relay outputs. Probably cheaper bread board though. I'll probably play with it a bit, looks like a fun project once my new tank's up and going.
I've got a PLC running the basic stuff on my tank right now, was looking at upgrading and hopefully adding in some monitoring over the web. Not terribly hard to do if i designed my own webpage, etc. But the issue was getting info to the computer, especially the analogs.
I used to work building automated machinery, but the computer/PLC interface is beond me.

Thanks agains both of you.
