Zac's 5ft Tank SPS dominated mix reef

[Zac]

Doing up a project to control all my DC pumps with my Reef Angel controller. With the Dimming expansion module i can now control more than just 2 DC pumps.

I link up my WP40 x2(wave maker) to run in 90% max NTM. right Sync and left anti Sync.

Waveline DC10000(return pump) running 100%

Waveline DC6000(skimmer pump) running 100%

Hook up this up to my Reef Angel controller using the ReefAngel (Jebao Cables).

Did a code for feeding mode.

When i enter the feeding mode.

all the pumps will be tune down.

WP40s down to 30%

DC10000(return Pump) down to 75%

DC6000(skimmer) continue to run at 100%

vortech MP40 will be tune down to 0% via the Reef Angel RF module.

I achieve a calm environment for feeding my fishes! (sometimes when want to take pictures i will enter feeding mode too)

Also coded a fail safe if my return pumps fails me the water level in the sump will raise hence my skimmer collection cup will be flooded and the skimmate just enter back to the tank! man i hate that when it happens! so i coded the skimmer to be switch off when the water level hits 80% and automatically switch on when at 70% solved my problem.

However iam doing up a automation of my auto feeder to be controlled by the RA controller. so once i enter feeding mode it not just tune down the pumps but will also auto feed once (manual feeding) however most of the time it will be on timer to enter feeding mode automatically once every day. Loving the endless capabilities of this controller whatever i can think of it is possible to code the controller to do the task!

Feel free to give me ideas on what else i can do to automate my reef tank All ideas are welcome!

Can show a video of yr eqp set up and fishes. Tks

will do a video after another project which i am currently doing

Thanks bro Zac

[Zac]

The DC pumps operating at what percentage shown on my andriod phone

Great effort, nice setup bro!!! Keep up the good work

[gambitz]

wow nice tank

[Zac]

The skimmer pic i wanted to post perviously. Happy with the performance. Also the fail safe that i coded the Reefangel to switch the skimmer of if water level hits 80% works great. No more overflowing skimmate when i do my maintenance. haha i get that alot as i often forget to off my skimmer when i off my return pump!

[gambitz]

Bro what skimmer you have? seem very powerful..

[say1606]

your skimmer done the good job.

I am using RLSS Skimmer

Coded the ReefAngel to sync the WP40 x 2 and my MP40 to dial up and down according to my LED schedule. When the lights are at it highest intensity the wave will be at its highest intensity too.

heres my code.

if (hour()>=8 && hour()<10) // From 8am to 10am ReefCrest mode 30%

{

ReefAngel.RF.UseMemory=false;

ReefAngel.RF.SetMode(ReefCrest,30,20);

}

else if (hour()>=10 && hour()<12) // From 10am to 12pm NutrientTransport mode 40%

{

ReefAngel.RF.UseMemory=false;

ReefAngel.RF.SetMode(NutrientTransport,40,20);

}

else if (hour()>=12 && hour()<14) // From 12pm to 2pm NutrientTransport mode 50%

{

}

else if (hour()>=14 && hour()<16) // From 2pm to 4pm ReefCrest mode 70%

Reef Angel controller detected Water Level more than 100. must be my return failed me! luckily i set it to off my Skimmer when the water level hits 85% so it wont over flow out into the sump tank.

[Zac]

miracle happens

Utilised a spare dosing pump to acclimate corals.

Set it to dose 5s per minute. So all i have to do now is place the outlet into the tub and switch on the dosing pump and there you go

[james72]

That's a good idea for slow and steady acclimatisation especially sps corals

Thanks bro, i am guilty of being impatient. most of the time i rush thru the acclimatising process and regretted. Now i must learn to be patient

[james72]

I am guilty of that too. I have a spare dosing channel, will do the same too. Thanks for the brilliant idea.

Hows the reefangel working for you? Looks difficult to use with all that complex coding.

Works well for me. you can use the wizard to generate codes.

Once you gotten the hang of it, it is pretty straight forward.

This works so well for me that i can't help but to purchase more SPS

[Zac]

Some SPS that i purchase last week, been on the bottom of my tank till now.

Top Down View look better as always.
