Stc1000 Temp Control
After a couple of warmish days in Geelong, I noticed on my tank monitor (whilst watching from work) that the little pico was warming up quicker than my larger Nano (no surprise really). Perfect excuse to play with some more gadgets!
Breakout the STC-1000 temperature controller, connect up to my heater and a huge (well, huge for the size of the tank!) fan. Now I don't need to trust the cheap AquaOne thermostat in that tiny little heater. The STC-1000 has its own temperature probe and will ensure that only the heater, the fan or neither is switched on at any one time.
OK, so, the pics! Well, first up I tried to mount the fan on the side quickly with some double sided tape. Not only did it look messy, it also became unstuck in about 30mins... Enter Rubber Band!!! Lol, ok, this isn't really all that neat, but will do till a find a more suitable sized fan and then I will mount properly and hide the wiring inside the frame :)
First Attempt:
Current setup:
The STC-1000 can be seen down the bottom right hand side of the back of the tank, this needs to be boxed up and mounted neatly too :)
