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!
No rush Josh. You're working on multiple projects at once AND posting pictures and video showing how busy you are. All the while working a regular job. We enjoy seeing any of the progress your making no matter what it is.
As always, do it for your enjoyment. No deadlines or pressure from us.
@troy. Thank you @robotmaker soon as this refugium has water flowing and filtering which will be tommorow I can get back to Jarvis. I must do the body work and send dude to paint.
10 gallon refugium with 3 bubble traps and large pump section
Custom overflow style drain to refugium good for 580 gallons per hour. The mag 7 pump we are estimating will exchange 390 gallons per hour which is nearly 8 times the volume of my tank. This is 4 times what I had before so im excited. All the plumbing and hoses and pumps are in the right side of the stand and left side will have electronics and will be the "dry" side.not much a rush from me too,just waiting on it to finish and see if some of your designs will work for my omnibot design i am lot like you ,i have about 4 robot projects going on,plus working for my job at home i dont watch TV much or go out,plus have house repairs,but soon i will be retiring in a few months,1 trip left to go to china,and then next month done ,need more time for my ROBOT building i have well over 20 robots to build,i just got in 5 more EZB and my machine shop almost done,lathe machine next month and christmas my scroll saw comming it great tool to but called BLADE RUNNER,NEED TO MAKE MY ROBOT FINGERS
so far plumbing looks good,i am looking to use EZB for my large fish tank,just not having anything on the outside of the cabinet or almost inside except for special filter cansister and special filter buying new from petshop,i ordered my canister filter for $425 and rest after christmas i spoke to some experts and the told i got the right equipment i might use your injector system since i have many large syringes i got from work and i have over 200 different types of relays i,need any can have some
the safterwater tank is not really my main project,first need to see up the camera's and lighting and incubator setup for my GECKO,getting ready to mate on FEB14 and have incubator made alreay,except for controlling the temperature.looking at all females (can select male or females or both by temperature)
This is the overflow drain down to the refugium and filters.i got a very low cost super nice cabinet very well made for $140 on sale ,no cheap wood i hate compressed board,i love only real wood in my house i make some of my own furniture using only real wood my bed furniture so so very well made had offers from other to make one for them,,next making my cabinet to match,its a very old style renniassance type to go with my large sword collection,my whole bedroom has so much in dragons swords and rennaissance stuff including very special dragon stain glass lamps
this aquarium table supports 900 lbs aquarium table
your idea getting good so far JOSH ,gave a couple ideas for mine wont use the pvc pipes idea,dont care to have it on the side of my table,wont look great in my house,but other ideas you going to use with EZB going to use to talk to other robots using EZB to let me know if my tank has any problem,i dont know if DJ added this feature
The pictures look good. I came to petsmart here and took a look at it. Its particle boars with a laminate. Its good for a fresh water tank but doesn't have room for the pumps and filters for salt water. My stand is high density fiberboard butit looked good when I bought it.
UPDATE going monday to a saltwater fish store where mostly they sell only saltwater fish stuff besides other fish and pets (very big store ),i was in there before,but the guy who made the 20 to 30 100 gallon tanks going to let me see his setup
i didnt look at it too good,but still it rated at 900 lbs.kinda thought it might be particle board with laminate,real wood need to spend about $1000 can very easy make one out of birch or walnut,but dont have the time,just want well made to hold more then 500 lbs and has to be look very nice in my house also thats why i have very good stuff in my house,cost more but worth it,one side will fit my 3 canisters setup and other side my fish supplies,its going in my kitchen near my dining table facing a mirror do have my geck's there i know they wont be happy about the moving ,female gecko loves to look at her self on it ,or maybe he thinks it a male on the full wall glass mirror ,40 gallon tank i have for her and soon her mate jake,2 months to go cant wait for mating dance he does for her (feb 14) hope to get a video camera to tape it
also shipping 2 day air is free for me
