You can't use an Ethernet hub for the 1-wire network. Very different protocols. For just a few 1-wire devices, a hub isn't really necessary.

If you do this correctly couldnt you intern write a software program and use this as a tank monitor instead of buying a 400 dollar tank controller?

Yes, one could, and many have. For monitoring, there is no risk really. If you want it to control various functions, then you have to be much more careful in how you design it. Lots can go wrong if you aren't careful.
