Hi from the Philippines - CyberPhawn - 03-02-2022 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 :) DIY Doser reef-pi RE: Hi from the Philippines - Rob F - 03-02-2022 Hi CyberPhawn, thanks for sharing, looks like you have a lot connected. :) I like the personal touches you've made to reef-pi, it looks great. |
