The Good, the Bad and the Ugly....
OK - let's start with the good. I finally got around to having the controller mounted in a box for the Heater. Works like a charm, is easy to program and offers a high degree of accuracy (You can set it to 0.1 of a degree as a target range and set a tolerance of 0.1 degrees). I currently have it set at 26.3 +/- 0.3. The only problem - stupid me forgot to order a conversion plug for the Shego so I am using an Eheim for now.
(Sorry Guys - I have no idea why every picture I host on this forum turns sideways - any idea's @
thereefuge ?)
The Bad...
My Hanna Reagents were faulty. for a while now I have been reporting 0.00 and couldn't for the life of me get the reading up. Anyway (refer tot he ugly a bit down) I've had a few algae blooms of late which lead me to really rethink why. Anyway I tested my tap water and got a 0.00 result - something isn't right here. Sure enough a quick trip down to Hanna and they replaced the reagents. I now get a reading of 0.1 ppm (not great, but great I am getting a reading). I have been running Rowa for the past 2 days and will continue to do so and will do a water change on the weekend. I think I've also lost a Pocci @
Rob gave me in the past week (the tips are bleaching out). Maybe it will come good.
The Ugly...
Need I say more...
@
MagicJ - You'll be happy to know the heater is out of the DT finally ;) I've also re-positioned my Tunze so I can now cable tie the pumps so it appears only 2 cords go into the DT. Once the algae goes I'll get a new FTS.
I also order and received (today) a Raspberry Pi so that's the next project - with @
Rob help - to replace the monitor currently on loan with a few improvements ;)
