Reef Angel Forum

My tank is pretty quite now that I worked out the kinks lol I have both a Danner Mag 7 & 9.5...they are extremely quite when only one is on but when both are on they hum together as they have the same resonance frequency. I ended up buying suction cups for the mag 7(as it has a plate for them to...

Thanks guys! Lol there is still alot I need to do, and even more to order. Theres a few things left and this reef will be fully automated -skimmer cup cleaner -float in rodi resovoir to control solenoid to turn on the rodi unit to fill back up -robot snail to clean glass haha (I wish) But ill be doi...

Well its been a while.... Just redid the RA for the tank upgrade...anyway Fulldisplay RA tower on right http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/Neverblu/20130410_185844_HDR_zps3d1cc0ef.jpg Lights http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/Neverblu/20130409_230234_zpsd7471b7b.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/a...

Hmmm late reply haha...I'll post update tonight

Try this // above setup() void MoonState(byte D); // after loop() void MoonState(byte D) { switch(D){ default: case 1: if(D == 0 || D ==29); ThisPhase = 0; break; case 2: if(D >=1 && D <=6); ThisPhase = 1; break; case 3: if(D ==7); ThisPhase = 2; break; case 4: if( D >= 8 && D <=13);...

I'll have to look at this again - to all who have been having problems with some of my code I apologize for not responding lately. Between work, having a house built, and prepping for a 9 tank biospecific setup on one system when I move and everything else in between life has been a little hectic.

I can help what is it you want to accomplish? Most of the things you have will be able to be created via raGEN. Once you have done what Roberto said above me I can help with getting the custom main screen set up .

Hmm my bad for not responding. I just threw it together and never really went back over it.oops

Yes nice screen sir

Yes...5% nice ;). All of mine start in the range of 9pwm -21pwm except my whites...at 65. Mind you these are numbers bases off 255..not 0-100. Wait till you use that flex block for lightning ...haha sooo cool ;) Also...I'm sure you know but I'll say it anyway. Put the drivers in a vented area that y...

Oh I know that's a ra & ra+ ...I'm talking about your project on hold prototype hahaha...really though jsclownfish this is an awesome breakthrough using a 2nd arduino board(ra)

indeed....so roberto how much for that prototype hahaha

I got second screen envy....

You could use one of these http://www.ledsupply.com/dynaohm.php For each of the moonlights, then wire the drivers to a 5v electronicly controlled potentiometer Reef angel > pot w/ 5v external powersupply. Reef angels dimm voltage will come in and turn the pot allowing power to the drivers from the e...

Post to long to edit on phone The 6 led/stand changes to 10 if you do two strands of 5 parallell of the driver vs 6 in series. However parallell will cut the constant current in half per strand so a 700mA puck w/ 2 parallells will be receiving 350mA/strand. Just my opinion but 350mA barely powers cr...

Yes it was me - I use a 2100mA, & 2x 1000mA buckblock, and also 3x 700mA flexblocks You do not need to do reverse ramping with these drivers - start from 0 ramp to 100. If you like - like I did I wartched my lights to see when power on is for example my white 2100mA w/ 5x xml t6 on them starts l...

this is the code you need to parse your seconds to hours/minutes rhour=rtime/3600; rtime=rtime%3600; rmin=rtime/60; rtime=rtime%60; rsec=rtime; if(rsec > 30) rmin++; shour=stime/3600; stime=stime%3600; smin=stime/60; stime=stime%60; ssec=stime; if(ssec > 30) smin++; I wish I could say I had a better...

Heatshrink your soldered connections - before you heat shrink , dielectric gel your solder slide the tube over connection then squirt a bead of silicon in each end of the shrink tube, wait 24 hours for silicon to dry. This will be your most viable option for submerged connections. Rinse the shrink t...

No problem - the moonphase is actually part of the libraries. I just made that code so you can see what part of the moonphase its in visually on the main screen. Glad it worked out

Yes we could do that for lightning - the three sets were test runs as Im trying to implement more then one lightning strike during a storm. also you could but void strike() after the function, and you would call it after the if statement like so if (blahblahblah) strike(); The reason ChannelValue =2...

you could do something like this if you use the code on RA to pull the values add this to top of RA PDE byte SeasonsVar[]={ 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}; Placed in Loop() to pull variables from PWM Module Wire.requestFrom(8,12); for (int a=0;a<12;a++) { if (Wire.available()) SeasonsVar[a]=Wire.receive()...

You are correct, You do not need any of that on the RA unless you want to pull values, the code can be loaded as is however - here is the latest #include <Wire.h> #include <OneWire.h> #include <Time.h> #include <DS1307RTC.h> #include "ReefAngel_Globals.h" #include "ReefAngel_Features....

Thanks roberto - the reef angel has made my life simple again

Its definitely been a work in progess and there is still work to be done . and my favorite coral

My frogspawn- a white and a green frogspawn put together

Hello, my name is Brad...this is my custom 25 - DImensions 25.75lx14wx16h Current FTS 1/12/2012: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/Neverblu/P1130072-1.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/Neverblu/DSCN0041.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/Neverblu/P1140087.jpg http://i7.photobucket...

Time to get a usps

Zoa's are bad too :/ glad to hear your alright!

I know this is several months late - I changed the piece of code for simulating the lightning effect so its strike pattern will be a little more random. Here is the modified section if (lightningchance && (NumMins(hour(),minute())==(cloudstart+(cloudduration/2))) && second()<2) { int...

Interesting. Thanks for the info

both my reactors and return use 3/8thsID tubing and reactor pump powers 2 reactors @ 185gph, and return is 350gph. any way you can tell what size it is? the site doesnt say
