Getting ready to do my own build - I loved the jarduino controller, but thought it had some shortcoming (no Ethernet and delayed development) and the I found Willies poet of reefcentral.
I've just ordered the basics to get started - hopefully they'll be there this weekend.
Has anyone seen or tried this shield yet? http://shop.aqualed-light.com/product_i ... ucts_id=34
It looks like it'll cut down on a couple of shield, and then it has the screw terminals to make things easier.
One big thing I haven't decided on yet is my LEDs - I have a bio cube 29, and am thinking of having a custom aluminum PCB cut for the lighting.
