Greg's 75g

My Tunze Osmolator is sensitive to voltage changes, and the warning 'beep beep beep' goes off whenever I unplug something on it's circuit
I was going to solve this issue with a surge suppressor, but am now glad I didn't

Last night, I wasn't watching the house temp ... I hear the beeping and go to my office
Office temp was only 79, but the QT was over 81
- I've set the QT lights to turn off if the temp gets to 81
The QT lights were turning on and off. This light cycle caused the ATO to trip, which I heard from another room

Nothing like some more automation, although unplanned, to help me keep my critters safe

Today I bought a 12v power supply and wired it to a spare 120mm 1900RPM 106 CFM computer fan I had
I used some foam for dampening and a mesh screen for dust
I programmed the 12v supply on the PC4 and now the fan keeps the QT cool enough that I won't need a chiller

I'd post a pic, but Photobucket is doing maintenance
