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!
Now with 4 times the flow the sand and debris was being blown up from the bottom and making a mess. To remedy this I used silicon to attach plexi to the bottom and used a larger drill bit to waffle it up and now there's no bubbles and no sand being kicked up.i just back from the pet store where they sell a lot of sa ltware tanks and fish for the saltwater tank i only need a power head and canister type filer is the best,and dont need any other type of filter system aslong asi have living coral rocks and plants it save much money,he is in charge of the saltwater fish tanks for all the stores and show the big setup in the back with many many tanks of saltwater fish living for years using only that system,so he told those other 2 filters is a overkill,onlly is to check the levels once a month for a ny problems with a very good water tester,for oxygen only need some air stones hook to a air pump as the bubbles rises it releases oxygen
Fyi if your growing coral bubbles are your enemy , bubbles injure and kill mushroom polyps and young delicate corals. So be careful with air stones.
they are used alot and fish love it my back wall of the fish tank has it the full length and the fish go crazy at it ,the love to swim into it alot and play with it bubbles cant really kill ,it depends on the pressure of it if very tiny they dont hurt the fish or coral you may have the wrong ones or too strong of a pump you need a regulator and there is other ways to place a piece of pexiglass in front if too strong with tiny holes they even sell dividers that has it done already
Not fish. Fish love them. Im talking about mushrooms and live coral. Check reefcleaners or aquarium advice websites. But thats my 2 cents.
when place on the back wall not near any coral or anything else already got that info from my saltwater expert ,he says too many people buy extra filters that are not needed,his tanks going for many years without any problems with same setup when you see it with your own eyes like i did ,its better then any internet advice
go to a pet shop ask if you can see thier setup.but not all saltwater pet shops are the same also
JOSH did you get acrylic tank ,thats what i am getting and looking one i saw at a very good price it holds 150 gallons 5 feet long free shipping on ebay $900 acrylic tanks is 17 times stronger then glass aquarium tanks and alot lighter. and there is others like 8 foot high i think 1000 gallons for $5000,wish i had the room for that,well someday soon also will order next month a nice 3 ft wall tank from amazon it holds 6 gallons for my living room i do have another port hole size wall tank 2.6 gallons in my bathroom for my gold fish
JOSH have a blessed safe christmas and a happy new year.
