Hello, I am setting up a 75 gallon high-tech tank, and I will be documenting the process here in this thread!
Originally, I bought this tank for mbuna African cichlids, but I wasn't really digging the tank full of rocks
I still wanna keep mbuna, just not in this tank. My next project will be a 30-40 gallon species-tank with either Pseudotropheus demasoni or Pseudotropheus saulosi.
I have not decided what I will be keeping in this tank, but it will be one of the following: Asian theme (Asian plants, barbs, loaches, maybe cheat with some rainbow fish), West Africa theme (African plants, kribs, congo tetras, etc), South American theme (you get the idea). These will not be strict biotopes.
Anyways, for me half the fun is in setting up the tank, so this will be a long term project. I am building the light and the co2 regulator, and that's basically it for this summer. If all goes well, then I should be planting in the fall!
For now this thread will mostly cover the LED light build, then the co2 regulator. Both items will be controlled by a chipKit Max32 development board (similar to an Arduino). More to come!
