Ok this is the second project where EZB will be used to control lighting , current flow , temp , salinity ect. This thread will show just about every step ot the build , electronics , wiring and eventually the scripts to make it work.

So the pump is in and functional , biopellets and carbon reactors are running now
So I added about 10 pounds of live sand which causes a large murky cloud. The ezb is already ordered for this one so I will start making everything. Next step is excellent lighting in both actinic and warm daylight.
Because these are very high power they need a heatsink and maybe a fan. I believe they run on 11 volts. Here is the case that is a old cable modem which could look good as a project box either for ezb or the lights themselves.
These are 6 10 watt blue actinic LEDs. They are super bright and I should have no problem frowning very pretty corals with these. Take in mind this is double the previous output and they are all blue not split with white.
Alright I'm epoxying down the buck stepdown converter . with a load I could maintain 9.5 volts from a lead acid battery. I will test load voltage again in a few minutes from the 12v regulated power supply I made from a PC power supply for it.
BECARE YOU DONT have your burner on doing that,or forget its on
My new GLASS RANGE was on and i couldnt tell ,since not red and it almost melted my lid
@Dch thanks! If I can raise lots of anemone in different colors I will start selling them. I love these guys.
plus always watching what i do in my house,she never bites also,even when i give her fruit off my finger
Here is the maroon clown feeding a purple one. They are very sensitive to environmental changes , flow , light , and they like oxygen so if they want more they will come to the surface of the water. Anyways that's where ezb comes in. Controlling water flow , alternating currents and switching from night to daylight at the correct time.
But on mine and your design i like using a EZB
JUST awhile back i went to clearwater marine aquarium,thhats where you find the best experts ,since thats all they do ,and got many ideas on how to take of fish tanks ,mostly saltwater
Getting ready to place many many photos of the clearwater marine place,total about 500 or more,from there and busch gardens and tampa zoo in my facebook page
SO you can check them out JOSH
