Ez Robot community I wanted to introduce my latest application of this system. Some members hear already know I keep two salt water aquariums one coral which unfortunately died off and my predator tank. Sea life needs delicate balance maintained in their little ecosystem. Things like light spectrum , temperature, ph balance , current of water , nitrate and ammonia levels and calcium levels. These things take a practiced hand to maintain. I am building a new system and using ez b to monitor salinity, nitrates and ammonia, temp , water current flow and the ph. The ADC ports are useful for these and EZ board can control the current and switching to a backup power supply ( a apc for computers inside the cabinet to keep ezb and pumps powered). Also the ezb can turn on and off night , morning , day , and evening lighting settings. With a custom injection device im designing ezb can provide nutrients , calcium and even medicine if levels are out of wack. I started the build today and I am very excited!
Oh...? If I recall correctly, sound actually travels faster in denser materials like water and metal then in air. Fish finders and sonar all use ultrasonic, as do some algae treatment cases, but at very specific frequencies. But if it is pulsed once in awhile, then it will most likely not be an issue
Ok here is just the two blue bulbs. My white burned out. It was a second hand one anyways.
I picked up a couple new anenome today and wow! One is huge and I bought him for only 16.99....
Ok back to ezb business.... I really want this setup to be isolated from other projects for reliability and consistancy reasons. I looked on craigslist and bought a computer and also a spare that the guys says needs a hard drive and os... so only one is good at the moment. It was 30 dollars so I certainly wont complain. It is a older system but should be enough for a dedicated ezb brain.
Josh, I think this is one of the most creative uses of EZ-B I have seen. It really shows the versatility. And the tank looks great!
Thankyou brett! This project is really coming along! This morning I noticed a very rare event. My giant maroon clown has hosted the anenomes. This is not common anymore because so many clowns are tank raised where they never learned this behavior.
More and more successes !

Tomorrow i receive the second light fixture. This will give me up to 5 bulbs to control lighting in the tank. I will try different combinations of bulb arrangements to see what is practical.
That video was cool... I am liking salt water tanks with their interesting types of fish
One of our clients has a large tank with Nemo and Dory in it
I know this is all about the EZ-B integration, but more videos please
Sure gunner , soon as i get my new phone in a couple weeks pics and videos will continue. I have been a little mia lately because my computer is in pieces and i sold my old phone so in using a basic one right now. Soon as i get the new phone i will get back on the posting wagon!
