Control LED Diver with PWM

Other Hardware LEDs and Multiplexing

Okay so im a complete newbie to the world of programming for starters but i want to learn the arduino language to build a reef controler for my tank

Now my Led drivers run off a PWM signal for dimming which i think is 100Hz ~ 3KHz correct me if im wrong how can i do this off the 5v arduino and its PWM pins?

second i need to develope a code that fades the lights in for sunrise to a set intensity, holds it there for 8 hours, then sunset.. anyone can help?

I tried learning the language off the refference page but thats so confusing, is there any other way?

I suggest you look at the Arduino tutorials http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/HomePage, in particular the Fade one.

over at reefcentral.com in the DIY forum are all kinds of reef controllers using the arduino.
what you seek is there.

No anything you write in software is a collection and combination of those words on the language page.
