Ive been slowly working on my friends 105 gallon system. We have the canister filter installed and pumping water. We have our media in the grow bed. We have the bell siphon installed and working.
Unfortunately, we lost the color code chart for testing pH and other chemical levels, so were waiting on a replacement chart to balance our water chemistry before starting fishless cycling. Hopefully in the next week, or less, well receive our replacement color chart, and well be cycling.
On a side note, I received an Arduino as a gift from a Reddit gift exchange. Im learning to use it, and will ideally be able to set it up to monitor the system. I know it can monitor water temperature. Im hoping I can also set up sensors to trigger supplemental lighting when it is a gloomy day. Im also wondering whether I can use pH sensors and other chemical sensors to monitor everything about my system. Id love to also build an automatic fish feeder, but thats down the line a bit.
Anyway, keep a look out in the next week or two for an update with pictures and video.
