Nixu's Aquarium setup (Work in progres)

[niksunen]

Hello Niksunen, a great feature!
A long time ago (about one year) I wrote Rob to integrate this feature to control CO2 and the PH value.
But Rob is very busy with the development of the controller, so the feature stands at the end of the to-do list.
It would be optimal if there were a page on which the PH probe can be calibrated (3 point calibration), the KH value can be entered, and an upper and lower PH value or a CO2 value can be specified.
Then there is missing the possibility to switch the CO2 on and off at a shedule in depending of the PH-value (at night the plants do not need CO2) and an alarm if something is wrong.... and the luxury variant which weighs the CO2 consumption.

I hope Google has translated all this correctly ;-))

There going to be. I ask Rob if he are planning to do it, and if not i do. But he says that it is he's to-do list and are coming at some point :) 

And that is great idea to add kh value somewhere in same screens with that calibration functions :) 

"Then there is missing the possibility to switch the CO2 on and off at a shedule in depending of the PH-value (at night the plants do not need CO2) and an alarm if something is wrong.... and the luxury variant which weighs the CO2 consumption."

if i understand this correctly. There is this feature allready. I dont remember which update (maybe 3.10 ?) bring this function. I use it and works fine :) 

I also used it to start air pump and make air bubbles in tank (in night time) if ph is too low, so co2 "vaporate" aquarium quicker and ph is not go too low and harm fish

Nope i remember wrong, it was version 3.0 update which brings those custom rules.  https://www.robo-tank.ca/forum/Thread-Ro...0-is-Ready

Do I have this correct, there is no need to add co2 value to custom rules as you can control it using ph? If so, wouldn't that also mean you wouldn't need it for alarms as you could use ph?

This is kind of matter of view :D Yeah control only with ph is enough (for me atleast, i don't know what other says :D ) And alarms, yes you can use ph alarms and set it to go off if ph drop too low. But if somebody want, using co2 level works also. 

 Concentrations of approximately 15-25 ppm / mg/l of CO2 are generally considered good for plant growth and safe for fish. Values above 25  ppm CO2 may cause some difficulties with fish, but many have reported no ill effects to their fish at levels of 30 and 35 ppm. 

I personally going to use only ph alert, and only want to view co2 value. But this is also matter of view :D
