So a new year and some changes are coming.
I will be shortly incorporating an automatic drain to my Skimz skimmer collection cup.
Parts required
1 x GHL Float switch
1 x RO water solenoid
1 x 1/4" RO threaded to push fit connector
1 x length of 1/4" RO pipe
Method
Install Float switch to lid of collection cup
Install fitting to bottom of collection cup.
Run RO pipe line from skimmer cup to household drain
in this line connect RO solenoid
Ro solenoid controlled by socket on power bar
Float switch set up so it triggers socket and has a delay of 2 minutes or enough time for the collection cup to empty.
If the drain clogs and the float switch stays active for too long the skimmer will shut off.
Yet another great use of the GHL ProfiLux
What else is coming?
Well time to try some new lighting, no no before you all jump on me, The Ai's have performed without flaw, they are amazing units and i continue to be a huge fan.
So why the change? Well this whole builds main purpose was to highlight all what can be done with GHL and with the Pacific Sun LED's now controllable over the new GHL PWM interface I thought I would see how these units performed. So in the next few weeks I will be taking delivery of a Black Python 160W 380mm LED fixture. I will report back regularly about the install and how the interface works with GHL and Pacific Sun.
Hmmm what else?
Well after taking on New Era aquaculture foods for canadian distribution we have been playing with their foods for LPS feeding
Here is the body of a thread I posted elsewhere
New Era Marine pellets have long been associated in Europe for its balanced feed for marine fish as well as Chalices and Acans due to the pellets high blend of nutrients and ingredients.
With the feeding success of the Marine pellet, we are working with New Era to bring a dedicated pellet food for Acans (LPS) to the market in the next couple of months, I think you will be impressed how well the food is taken up!!
Here are some photos of the pellet being sucked in readily.
YUM YUM
sorry guys
