No one replies to my posts are you guys pissed at me or something ??
If yes It would help to know why
Ideas of automation
Alright so Far I have a stand built for up to a 72 x 24x 24 Aquarium
but I am using my 4 footer for now ( untill next week )
I Still have not decided with the dimensions of the tank but i know I want it 72 long :-), I have a local professional who will build me a tank next week
Got two MH 250 watters 6500K in the canopy, I will upgrade to 20,000K when I change bulbs
In the meanwhile I anm looking to take on some Automation and some tank plumbing questions
I would like to connect two fans blowing in the cool air
I would like to have a Timer system with some sort of shutoff in case the water tem reaches over a preset limit
I did not put any Florescent lighting only standard bulbs ( I know I know It's just temporary ) What kind of bulbs would give the best viewing lighting with these ?
I plan on getting the tank drilled from under , how can I run electric wiring without runningot off the top
i.e. Can I run a pipe within the return pipe carrying all my electric stuff for the lights and pumps
Instead of using Powerheads can't I use just one bug pump like Mag 7 for sump plus circulations Any ideas
( keep in mind the new tank size )
I luustrated articles or ideas would be best because you will have to expain it to me like a three year old
