Nice work! Looks very neatDexterPunk wrote:I finally made a start on the tank yesterday. Fairly happy with it so far.
Awesome! Post pics if you get them up and running.CLP wrote:Miss V and I just grabbed a couple of LED light hoods for both of our tanks.
Currently sitting in their packaging waiting for an opportunity to put them on the tanks, with any luck, this weekend following a tank clean and water change
got Miss V's tank sorted. There's nothing much to see really, since they're a direct swap over replacement for the stock light hood on these tanks. They have a night mode (blue light only) and regular mode (white and blue lights) that are activated by a rocker switch. It'd be pretty awesome to automate the switching between the twoDexterPunk wrote:Awesome!

Woo.. that sounds like the ticket!norbs wrote:Arduino is perfect for switching stuff like that Carl. Throw in a light sensor (daylight sensor) and it can all be automated.
So pretty... :oDexterPunk wrote:Starting to get there. Hopefully ammonia drops soon and I can start introducing some shrimp / fish.
i think it depends a little on the fish species. they generally have a range that they prefer. My electic yellows are fairly tolerant and have a reasonably wide "happy" range. I'm just a little stumped as to what is going on that causes the Ph to drop so dramatically after a water change, especially given it was happening in two tanks.DexterPunk wrote:That really sucks. Fingers crossed it’s all over.
I’ve been doing a bit of reading on Ph, as my CO2 lowers it considerably. It seems almost unanimous that you shouldn’t worry too much about it (unless you have nerite snails as it slowly destroys their shell).
