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!
Ok so I have new additions to the tank. I was out shopping at fish stores for the wave makers. While shopping I ran accross a crazy Lion fish Villan , he looks so sick! I also picked up a sally light foot crap , sea urchin, horseshoe crab , spiny box puffer , and a pink anemone...
Im looking at having two higher power wave makers , maybe 700 gpg and a smaller 400 gph on continously. I set up one of the ports to alternate the larger pumps side to side. Ill post the options ive seen so far.
Awesome Josh! Great looking fish and lighting controlled by an EZ-B niiiice! ...But I am still waiting to see a robot Nautilus!
One of my small tanks i have got a leak,lucky my fish are ok,so far in 3 years none died on me.
So i bought a water tank sensor for 2 reasons one is that you do need to add water now and then,since water does evaporates over time ,and second if the water goes low too fast it meens there is a leak,it can be set up in EZB easy and on mine looking to add a water pump with a small container to fill it up by EZB
second i bought 6 auto fish feeders ,one for each of my tanks so far and using 6 EZB one for each tank ,using network RJ45 Since the tanks in different rooms and every room alread as a network setup and want a very stable connection,WIFI not really stable as bluetooth,only straight wire
Ok the two wave generators are on the way. Both are made by Aqueon , Aqueon Circulation Pump 950 GPH
I lucked out and a kind individual sold me two new ones for 20 dollars each which is less than half regular price even on ebay. They will be here mid next week.
WOW JOSH same ones i bought on sale just last week and free shipping WONT that hurt the coral and plants ,like you said awhile back on the bubble maker i suggested
Great question fred , as long as the unit is fully submerged it will not shoot out bubbles. Naturally rivers and the ocean have a great deal of flow but as long as the current is not so strong it physically hurts the plants or corals its sll good. Saltwater tanks need a lot of flow , some argue the amount of flow from pumps and wave makers should be at least 30 times the volume of your tank
I hope the flow is not strong,when i check my bubble maker the bubble was so weak didnt move my plants and the fish love it so much,they love playing in the bubbles
Josh,
Are you worried the fish will be sucked into or up to it?
