Isaac Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 A new army has joined the war against the axis of palys... I was able to remove 4 old old plugs which had paly overgrowth. 2 went to the trash (they just didnt look nice), two are going a the sale thread! check out the GSP snuffing out that one paly on the right.

Isaac Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 not sure what caused it, and i cant pull out the healthy ones today to frag them off. (r22 AND anti-freeze on my hands earlier) bleh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 so i've decided to try and make a skimmer neck cleaner. what i have so far: stepper motor http://amzn.to/2vU9OjH stepper motor driver http://amzn.to/2vTQraI arduino to control driver http://amzn.to/2vTuKr9 If I can get this combo to go in one revolution every hour or two, the plan is to 3d print a shaft and mount some squeegees on it, the run a belt between the stepper motor and the shaft. I cant mount the motor directly ontop, as i have a clearance issue (ugh). will post picts once i have something! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 code i have so far... /* Stepper Motor Control - one rev back and forth This program is for the SparkFun Easy motor driver board. This program drives a bipolar stepper motor. The motor is attached to ground plus digital pins 8 and 9 of the Arduino. The motor should revolve one revolution in one direction, then one revolution in the other direction at a speed determined by the milliseconds in the microSecDelay variable.

Isaac Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Anyone ever use this? https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/insta-set-super-glue-accelerator-bob-smith-industries.html It warns of heat generation, but does the solution have any adverse affects to certain/all corals? share your wisdom, oh experienced fraggers.

Isaac Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 YAIR (yet another isaac rant) why are algae scrubbers so expensive? 2x LED panels.. $25-50 each small tall acrylic or glass tank... maybe $50 some plumbing... $10? plastic screen... like 10 cents I could see these for like 100-150... but 3-500? come on.

Isaac Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 i got the motor as slow as a complete revolution every 30 mins. any slower and it kinda freaks out *lol* suppose i could control it w/ the apex, fire up every 4hrs for 30 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 the skimmer cleaner project got a JOLT (*cough*) of energy yesterday (thank you @FarmerTy). I now have a dead vertex skimmer head, which im gonna take the arm from! ordered: gears! http://amzn.to/2fdkcwj belt! http://amzn.to/2felt6e The skimmer top will have the larger gear, which is attached to the arm. the motor above will be mounted to the side (i need to 3dprint the mount). This design shoooould work, and the added bonus of not having the design flaw of moisture getting in the motor and ruining it (just silly vertex, so silly) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 ....havnt had time for the cleaner yet.. boooo! I finally upgraded my phone, note8... what settings, assuming you are using advanced settings, are you guys using for picts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 finally designed the cleaner mount. first print was off.. will post picts once it fits right https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2695676 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
