Hey Dom, 

Looks fine for me  yet, you want to Build the Screen in? Where you want to Place you Box? Hope not behind a close door under the tank! 

I think you work is a Must See. 

I going to plan a Version with a Plug box hidden under my Tank and the Screen with enought cable to grab and holder on Front door of my Tank table. Any Ideas? Welcome All...

My box Will be next to the tank. For me, most difficult is cutting the panels for all usb and screen.
Understand my tank,  there will be the AC plugs.

That's a lot of outlets Dom, you must have a lot of equipment.

I hear you guys, cutting out the plugs in a PITA, one day maybe I'll have that solved.

Ah, understand your plan. 

I guess that will be very cool. I think that Plug Rail will look awesome if finished. 

What  exact is Need for the Connection from the Box to the Rail?

Hello Rott,

I just posted a reply to a similar question at this thread
Robo-Tank DIY Aquarium Controller Forum › Robo-Tank › DIY Hardware Questions [Image: arrow_down.png] 
[Image: nav_bit.png] Housing for unit and screen.


This was a simple solution until I can find or make one of the slick polished acrylic ones you can find for the processors. Here are the pics again, but you'll have to make your way over to the other thread to find out just WHAT my solution was! (Hint: 96 cents at WalMart!!)

What kind of Sensors you will use? I think Temp 3 Times, (Air, Water und LEDs ?) PH ? What Sensor you will take? All i know have not a USB but a kind of round Plug?! Is there any Sensor direct for CO2 ? I Control CO2 over a 220Volt and the PH Sensor (under 6.35 PH the CO2 is cut) Any Sensor else for fresh water out there? What PH Sensor work best with the Board ?

Hi Martin, the best PH sensor is from Atlas Scientific, you need the following.

https://www.atlas-scientific.com/product...zo_ph.html
https://www.atlas-scientific.com/product...rrier.html
https://www.atlas-scientific.com/product...probe.html
https://www.atlas-scientific.com/product...probe.html

I don't know about any sensor for CO2 but if you control it using 220v based on PH the controller will be able to do that as soon as I get the next update finished. You'll be able to set up to 4 ph values that'll turn an AC outlet on or off when it hit the value.

my set up is going to be in between 2 floors of my house that is why I was very happy to see the long length of cat 5e cable still work for the LCD. now I need to bring that cat5 up threw the whole where an old electric plug use to be along with usb for the feeder shouldn't be more than 20 feet so I believe the usb will be ok as far as sending the 3v to the feeder
