  1. My banggai until now won't eat pellets.
  2. Could be a problem, since he only knows PLC, VB and C++ Arduino is something new to him.
  3. Hopefully, by end of the year when my work is more free, I ask my s/w engineer to write the program for me
  4. Good work bro! I'm too busy with work now, my Arduino throw one side already
  5. As I have replied several forumners who PM'ed me. The cost is definitely higher or the same as the commercial LED lights now available. If you are not into DIY, then my advice is to buy commercial LED sets. Their prices have dropped dramatically compared to 2 yrs ago.
  6. My electrical bill dropped from $160+ to $130+ per month. Around $30+ savings per month so far. Oct registered the first drop. Aug and Sep was still $160+ due to PUB estimation of bill. I'm going to monitor subsequent months... maybe higher due to haze and using aircon more this month.
  7. Just ordered 1 of this. My old dual digital timer switch got fried recently. Tripped the breaker and whole house was blackout for almost 12hrs. Didn't know until came home at night. Lucky no fatalities in my tank.
  8. Your tank bracing better be super reinforced. When that thing blows, your tank wall might get blown off
  9. Another place that sells mantis shrimp is Coral Farm. I haven't been there lately, so not sure if they have any in stock now.
  10. To all who PM'ed, bro tropic was the first to contact me. So he gets first priority. I'll go down the list if he backs out. 1) Tropic 2) Tham64 3) Garamon 4) Stevenkoh08 5) Fatbike 6) Jewel
  11. Ok, have to clear it fast. Now I'm giving away the 2 sets. FCFS. Pickup is at my home (Holland V area). Only the reflector + HQI + ballast (2 sets). I'm keeping the fans for other projects.
  12. Duemilanove. Technically can use joystick instead of keypad to enter input. Use the analog pins instead of the digital pins.
  13. Don't know how true, but I'm told that if you keep FOWLR without chiller, long term the fishes will lose colouration and look dull.
  14. Realised that to add more IO to the Arduino you need to add expansion board... Bezz, Where did you get your expansion board from? Is it a I2C protocol board?
  15. I saw the LED shop on SLT 3rd floor selling constant current drivers for LED. $35 for highest wattage driver, can run 15x 3W LED at 700mA, no dimming. Not sure how is the quality though since its China made. Maybe you can try 1 of these instead of running with resistor in series.
  16. The Meanwell can run so many LEDS including the 10W ones?
  17. I got my Arduino today. Now have to figure how to program it...
  18. I'm using 2 units of Hydor Koralia K4 for my 3x2x2" tank.
  19. Yes, you can buy it at SLT. I bought my from the 1st floor, shop on the left when you enter the main entrance.
  20. Selling off 2 sets of 150W MH HQI with reflectors. These are taken from my Solite 3". Good for those who are looking for spare parts for their Solite. Throwing in 2x 120mm fans that run on 230VAC. These can also replace the single fan on the Solite. All for $50.
  21. So... now I have the following for sale: 2x 150W MH with reflectors, HQI, glass cover. I throw in the 2 fans also. All for $50. Help me earn some lunch money
