Introduction
This is a completely open source monitor and controller for a reef aquarium or similar water environment that needs monitoring and automated control of devices. We offer hardware and software packages that needs to be downloaded and customized to taste and flashed to the hardware. The entire software project is open source under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

NOTE: All probes and probe interface IC's must be purchased separately and are not part of the open source portion of this project. They come from a non-affiliated third party. Although, I will provide a list of the probes that will work with this project, there may be others that will work equally well.
