I'm glad someone's actually been able to put something together.  I've been trying to find something like this for a long time.  I'd like to have it control the light schedule, monitor temp, and feed h2o in tank according to salinity levels.  That possible? ]]> Wed, 16 Nov 2005 00:11:49 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6023&PID=85951&title=automated-reef#85951 <![CDATA[Automated reef : Way Cool ]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6023&PID=84735&title=automated-reef#84735 Author: Dion Richins

Well you would needthe following:

 1. A cheap computer (anything old with a 400Mhz or above will work) I use an old desktop without a monitor and VNC into it. Make sure that the PC has 2 free serial ports.

2. Firecracker transmitter and as many appliance modules as you need ( 1 appliance module for each device you need to control)

3. A temperature monitor kit from http://ozitronics.com/data.html#k145

4. Software like Misterhouse (Free) http://w3.misterhouse.com:81/  or Homeseer. I use Homeseer http://www.homeseer.com/

5. An internet connection if you want to control and monitor the tank while away.

6 Optional webcam to be able to see your tank from anywhere.

I can give you more details on how to setup everything if you need it.

That is a good idea biodork. Maybe a peltier cooler based refrigerator with prexied brine shrimp and an air pump that is turned on every little while for a preset time to feed. Dosing chemicals is really not hard as a small pump hooked up to the system can dose at any ferquency automatically or manually via the internet.]]> Tue, 17 May 2005 15:18:09 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6023&PID=65083&title=automated-reef#65083 <![CDATA[Automated reef : What kind of motors/gears etc...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6023&PID=65036&title=automated-reef#65036 Author: Biodork

What kind of motors/gears etc do you need for the autodosers?  Or can you buy a kit with all the parts?  Now all you need is a refrigerated autofeeder to hold aliquots of prime reef, etc.  ]]> Tue, 17 May 2005 10:05:16 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6023&PID=65036&title=automated-reef#65036 <![CDATA[Automated reef : Biodork, the system has been running...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6023&PID=65005&title=automated-reef#65005 Author: seti

Biodork, the system has been running my tank for a month and a half and its great. I can add additional modules that are connected to a dosing pump and dose from anywhere i have internet access. I will implement a webcam on it soon and maybe a PH moniter.
