    Yeah that would work, although I don't have any experience with that board.

    And a reef angel shipped to me is 235 bucks. I can promise u I can build my own for less than that. And expansions would be way less money too.

    if you had a point-meter on your dimmer this should be fairly easy.

    okay so im waiting on the pH shield from the guy i ordered it from which i give him a lot of credit for when comes to help and the code lol

    The heater is controlled by the temp probe, and the fans by the heatsink prob..it has a normal mode A, B to set date and time, C feed mode which shut off sump and power head(power heads alternate every 30s) and does a 5 min countdown, D mode is water change which is 20min countdown

    i moved things around on the screen i dont know if its final like this but i like it, all has been working great.. i need leds for that test :angry:
