Next I needed a controller of some sort. I have heard a lot about the Arduino and decided to give it a go. Why not right? It's WAY cheaper than any reef keeper or comparable product.
I went with the DFRduino (Arduino) Duemilanove 328 by DFRobot. Only about $30 and the website I got it from was chinese. It was here in about 3 days. While I was ordering from this website I also threw in an LCD shield ($20) so I could see what was going on with my sketch (code) I will get to that later.
Both parts:
Arduino:
LCD:
