Default Arduino Reef Monitor / Lighting Controller

Hey guys...
I think it's time I start shedding some light on my upcoming build.

Arduino Reef Monitor ( ARM )
Based on an Arduino Due and the East Rising ER-TFT070-5 ( Data Sheet in link ) this will act as the main controller and display.

Sensor Module:
There is no point of trying to hack and and design something that already exists. I'm probably going to use Open Reefs Senseable for this purpose.

Light Module:
This unit will be an Arduino Due shield.
There is little to nothing on the market that is aimed at the DIY hobbyist for salt water use.
Here's a few key points:
- 24V to 48VDC Fused Input
- On Boards regulators for the 3.3V and 5V required by the Due ( No external power source required!)
- 12Ch LED Drivers ( LDD-1000HS )
- RTC ( DS1307 )
- On board Input Voltage and Current Monitors ( Linear LTC2946 )

All Electronics will be housed in waterproof enclosure with waterproof connectors.
