Like the way u label your electrical plug.. very need

btw, is the pics top view or side view... if the pics is the side view, u feel safe with your sockets below the PVC water pipe? What is leaking?

Yeah I am good at labelling stuff :P

Yes the main overflow pipe is on top of my Aquatronica Power Unit... dun think the PVC pipe will leak as the construction is really solid and it has gone through 1 month of leak test... however better be safe than sorry... I will look at ways to avoid seeing Mr. Murphy :lol:

Temporary location for the probes... left to right:

Conductivity (Sg), Redox, pH and Water Level...

Don't worry about the probes... they are all at least 1" away from the DSB surface :) But will find them a proper location once all my equipments are up... will do a final round of calibration prior to the relocation. I placed the temperature probe inside the overflow box instead as it offers a more accurate temperature (closer to main tank) compared to the sump.

Expecting 1 or 2 more probes to come in :)

The black glass design is paying off... part of my intention actually :heh:

All parameters looking alright... temporary location for my Aquatronica Control Unit :lol: Comfortably sitting on my Aquapharm Sorb-4 container ;)

Also, programmed the ATI Bubble Master and Tunze Stream 6060 to rest for 12 hours everyday... shown in the control screen with a "clock" icon... socket B & F :)

Cool gadget. Wat's that probe on the far right?

Cheers

JC

It's a very simple gadget... a water level sensor to activate my water top-up system :)

1 probe will do the job fine... as it is a "float" sensor... so there's a Level 1 and Level 2 reading... actually I purchased another sensor the other time... probably will find some other use for that extra sensor :unsure:

Bro, I've tried relocating my probes further away from each other... but the results are consistent... so I guess I will put my probes back to the original position as they look neater that way :D

Finally a temperature sensor report (1 day)... show's that without a chiller (and lighting)... the temperature of my tank will drop from 29.5ºC to probably 28ºC till end day... before raising back to 29.5ºC during the night till next morning.

The room temperature is 26ºC.

The situation will be very different during weekends and I expect the chiller to work extra hard ;)

Just want to clarify... the all-in-one screen was shown on my laptop... not on the Control Unit... the Control Unit doesn't come with colour LCD screen :nc:

:bow::bow::bow: bro..share with us your total investments for the setup

Well... it's hard to determine tha actual figure as I recycled some of the old equipments from my home tank... just a feel:

1) Arctica 1/3hp Titanium chiller - $2000+

2) ATI Powermodul Dimmable 10 x 54W - $2000+

3) Aquatronica Aquarium Controller - $2000+

Hehe :heh:
