[Reply #30 on:]

Due to the lack of much on the market normal people can afford I want to build a controller
for my 80G reef aquarium. I have never done a Arduino project before so I am the newest of
new beginners. This looks like a good project to start with but it's a bit unorganized (maybe just me
not knowing what I am looking at yet). I don't see any kind of parts list and schematic of this controller,
is there one? Also some of the links don't seem to work.

Should I look for a simpler project for my first? I have a basic electronics understanding but know
programming experience.

Thanks

 If you want to understand how it all works, yes you should start with a simpler project. Otherwise, you need a kit put together for you. An aquarium controller contains several simple projects put together. You will be able to make it your own if you understand how it works.

 I think you will enjoy the process. I recommend starting with the LEDs and work from there.

Good luck!
