These are the same bugs you were asking me about in my tank when you stopped by. I actually go to great lengths to keep their populations high. Great natural food for fish and they recycle waste in...

Hey Dom, the DS18B20 should be able to share a ground with the fan circuit but, yes, Chris' fan scheme might present some issues. Then again, that damn schematic he posted is so damn small I can...

In terms of the rent, he is only allowed to raise the rent a certain percentage every year if you are an existing tenant (at least in BC). My landlord does ~4% per year, but only does 2% for me...

What kind of heat sensor are you using? I imagine that the sensor and the fan could share a common ground.

Fairly confident it's:

Blk - grnd
Red - +
Yellow - Tach
Blue - PWM

I've had a number of fans with a similar set up.

I agree. Age isn't everything, stability is. Typically stability comes with age but, then again, I've seen a lot of tanks that that are old but are as stable as the stock market. I have a 14G biocube...

Sign me up for 4! I'm glad to see he added the pull-down after I suggested he do it... Unfortunately he did it after I build this tank :twised:

New LEDs for the main tank coming it the summer!...

Interesting. I'd have to run the math to check it but I think the problem you were having here was the 1K resistor. The transistor might not have been at saturation and so the gain may have been too...

Ah, after looking at it more I see what he's doing. Ultra conservative design (in terms of current draw through the Arduino). You really could simplify it and just use the NPN. You'd have to drop the...

It's fairly straight forward. All you are doing in this set up is using the 0-5V PWM signal from the arduino to drive a 10V source - basically the same idea as an audio amplifier. You could easily...

I have 8 RB, 4 CW, 2 OCW and 4 TV over my 14G Biocube.

I run the LEDs at:

RB: 75%
CW: 45%
OCW: 80%
TV: 75%

I also run them from 8 am to 11:30 pm, with the light peaking between 10:30 and...

Simple answer: Yes. It's like sitting next to a sick person on a bus; you'll probably get sick too. Necrosis can be caused by a number things but in many cases it is "contagious" in that it can...

My sump is chamberless (at least for a little while longer) because of the small area I have to work with, size of the pumps, skimmer, etc. Works fine for me. I only wish I had a bubble trap to...

I should clarify: By combo rock I meant the assorted softies rock with the mushrooms and palys. All of my orange paly frags are gone.

If and when I have more you'll all know about it.
