This tank is still yang, started half a year ago.
Rocks are used from full of life 6 years old tank.
Now slowly adding corals.

Filter: Rena Filstar XP4
Water movement: Jebao SP-40

Light is unlimited because 500W for 60g tank is too much. But it gives a lot of benefits.
On full power it is used only for photography.
During the day spectrum is slowly changing.
Royal blue 2-3 hours - 200W, all other colors just to make the tank nice.

Will be added soon:
1. Online camera.
2. Full web access.

Tank is looking great! I'm interested in your code for your DIY controller. Which IDE do you use? I'm only familiar with the Arduino IDE, never worked with .hex files.

Are you using an ethernet shield to put the data online? Webpage/database hosted locally or remotely?

Did you have any ground loop issues when setting up your PH probe? my values only became stable after putting a low pass filter on the analog input.


sorry for the flood of questions, I've been messing around with my DIY controller a lot lately
