Feng have a new L-shape tank 700-gals, and have a lots of corals, he frag them for sales - EXCEPT this one!
Slide show can be see here...
By the way, this new circuit looks complicated, because it do more...
the orginal posting on RC only do one thing... (the below bold font)
If you have a smaller tank, and no need the extra stuff, you should use the original RC's one.
thx
To Recap the features:
- a 3 ways switch for: ON, OFF...
now... whom would be the guinea pig(s)?
;)
I would help to get the parts, and document the progress step by step...
Just to be clear, i decided that I am NOT going to make one for myself... because I am not sure my tank stand can withheld the shake...
>:(
Ok, here is the final...
i did the translation the best i could... enjoy!
;D
To Recap the features:
- a 3 ways switch for: ON, OFF, and Timer mode
- timing would be adujstable between 0.5 to 5 secs (Two individual adjustable settings for ON and OFF).

my friend finally got the *drawing* for me @4am in the morning... hope it would work...
BUT...
:o
LOL!!!
i would need some time to try to re-draw or translate it later...
;D
nice setup, great aqualscape too...
BTW:
my flame angle was good citizen for the 1st 6 months, then he started to pick on some of my corals... i then increase the feeding... and the picking stopped.
you probably should consider to shorten the stand, with that little head room, it is going to be tough to get the light in, even you managed to get it in, it would be trouble due to too close to the water surface and will have water splash, then eventually salt build up and will get stuck...
Renee,
I sent my friend email and ask him do it asap... and never heard from him... also can't reach on the phone... I was busy doing work this weekend, so it got forgotten until this morning...
so i called him again this morning, he did not see my email...? because for unknown reason, it was...
the 600g was full and do not have much room left... so he make a new tank with narrower and longer, so he can put in more stuffs...
and maintaining the 600g also tough, all the stuffs under the stand, hard to reach area...etc, the new big tank is now in the back closed to all the plumbing, and...
Renee,
i read the whole RC thread...
i think it make sense to do TWO switchs instead of one switch.
1st to control the ON-duration, and the 2nd to control the OFF-duration.
if you are not started yet, please hold on...
i am asking one of my best friend to help to give me the latest updated...
i like both color, day & night for different time... NOT going to change them to all-MH nor all-T5.
;)
- the MH is using Reflux 14K during day time.
- the T5 is using BluePlus & Actinic
I have my 3x250W MH on during the day from 9am to 8pm (see below ===),
and 8xT5 (36") 8am-9:15am, then 7:45pm-9pm (see below ---).
would it be beneficial to also keep the 8xT5 (36") on at that "same time"? between 9am to 8pm (see below ***).
my objective is to have more T5 blueplus shine on the...
