Hi,
I'm from the Philippines and started this hobby since 2012 with a more or less 100g display tank but have to abandon the tank 2 years after as we have to move to a new house and unable to bring the tank. Now back to the hobby due to the pandemic currently working at home and have enough time to setup a tank. I got a 75g tank last year and now running for 7 months.
but I was thinking when all is back to normal I'am mostly away from home for work and unable to monitor my tank so I setup my old Arduino controller (Reef Angel) but its 10yrs old and most modules are damage. Tried to contact old supplier but out of business. As I was searching the net with all of those expensive controllers... just too expensive for me... then I stumble upon reef-pi but don't have the time to build all those modules.
Then found Robo-tank and it was my solution and anydesk for my remote access. Luckily I have and extra raspberry-pi 3 B.
Just completed setting up my Robo-Tank V3 controller on my 75g mix reef tank and reef-pi UI redesigned.
Controller:
*Robo-Tank (reef-pi raspberry-pi 3 B)
*Remote access (AnyDesk for raspberry)
Controlling:
AC Equipment
- Return Pump
- Chiller
- Skimmer
- Wave Makers
- ATO Pump
- Cooling Fans
- Display Tank Lights
- Refugium Lights
- Salt mix pump/mixer
- Drain pump
- UV Filter
- Air pump
SENSORS
- Display tank low water sensor (optical)
- ATO water (float)
- Salt mix (optical)
- Return pump malfunction (optical)
- Temp Probe (Display, Lights, cabinet and Robo-tank cabinet) (2 on sensor module)
- PH
- DIY EC - Salinity
- Buzzer (connected to feeder port)
*will alarm on low water detection on display tank
DC
- 6 DIY dosing pump (12V DC pump)
Lights
- DIY moonlight (Analog) 5V LED strip (blue-green lights only) [Lunar]
- Phyto Farm Lights (Analog) 5V LED grow lights warm white [Diurnal]
- Phyto Farm air pump (Analog) 5V DC air pump [fixed]
Got the V2 last year and was amazed of its functionality and compact design when I heard of V3 early this year I replaced my V2 and played with it. nothing much to compare as both version works well. I like the compact design of V2 as all wiring on one area but it leaves a mess on all of those wires and cable. The modular design of V3 makes it easy to setup all function separately and less cable mess :)
