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!
You could set up a P&T cam and track various fish/colours/movment as well as remote monitoring... interesting to see if face tracking picks up anything
I wonder if I could waterproof a ezrobot cam? Ha ha have a view from inside the tank:)
When the EZ-B mini comes out you can make a self contained ROV that could swim and "interact" with the fish
Oh, sorry, I seen now. Your going to place the tank on top of the cabinet. There should not be much problems with heat if it's not going to be contained in a hood. Cant wait to see how you work the EZB into the maintenance and monitoring of your tank.
Have fun, Dave
Yup 55 gallon standard rectangle tank ontop of the cabinet. At this time I use two heaters to keep temps up. Im waiting for the mag 7 pump and 5 reverse osmosis canisters to arrive this week. I will also get large syringes to load nutrients , salination fluid , purple up and calcium.
I wonder if I could seal up a ez robot cam with silicon and ofcourse remove the battery and have it hard wired for power. Maybe I could ajust the focus and then silicon all the way around the lenses and casing and antenna hookups. It would be sooooo cool to have a underwater view of a Coral reef tank with predators.
House it in a clear plastic box and seal it with silicone. Much like an ROV
Hmmzees. Yea thats a option.
