Thanks to @trio91 I decided to start writing something about a Raspberry Pi as an aquarium controller. Here is what I have so far.
Introduction to Raspberry Pi Aquarium Controllers
by James King
Introduction:
First let me tell you about myself. My name is James King and I have been doing...
@Sunny I do agree with you. I went with this test for a couple of reason.
1. I wanted to see how it work
2. I have yet seen corals die within hours of putting them in my tank (which happen twice to me) so I know something has to be way off. The kits I have everything seems normal. I know...

ATO notice - the icons change base on if I need to add water or not. Working on adding a pump to go with it but...
So as I wait for my ICP test kit to come I been thinking of different things to try and get my tank back on track. I know many people love algae scubber and/or fug but I don't care for them. I tried setting up a fug and it didn't pan out well. I was thinking I might look into getting a...
