    Hey nice lab! Just found your channel so maybe you’ve already done this, but for your C02 scrubber: one of the best improvements I’ve ever made so far as ROI has been a recirculating skimmer. The media lasts nearly 10x longer. I have the same scrubber as you. That’s what the other input is for. Seeing your sophisticated system I’d bet you’ve already implemented this.
    Chris at LAX was awesome. Where I got my current tank before shipping it cross country. Most of the same equipment as you as well, but I love your metal controller boards. And everything else.

    I no it’s a long shoot but do you remember how you programmed the dose for the food?? Sorry to hear you shut it down thou

    • @blakeq2006
      @blakeq2006  Рік тому +2

      I don't have the lines of code anymore. I set the system to turn all recurcuilating pumps down to a few percent of normal speed. This way the food delivered would not go down the overflow. Then I set the DOS to pump the liquid into the tank. It was a bit of trial and error to get the correct mL. When I was setting it up I used water so I would not waste food. I kept increasing the amount of liquid delivered until it hit the end of the tube. Then I added the mL of food I wanted to deliver. Once that was all set I programmed the DOS to run backwards to take the food that was in the lines and put it back in the fridge. I did find after a bit of use some of the food would get stuck in the lines and on the end of the tube. If I were to do it over I would have added a tee right after the DOS and hooked it up to a pump with saltwater to flush the remaining food after the DOS out of the tube. I would have set that to run right after the DOS reversed the food back into the fridge. There are some videos on UA-cam on how to set this up. Hope this helps.
