    Atlas ph probe calibration

    My last pH probe broke during a move so I got a new one, but until then never had any problems. I've had the new one calibrated and running for about two months and then it started to drift upwards. This past week it drifted all the way to 9, which I hope was about 0.5 off. I did a 50% water...

    Reef-pi computer and settings

    Hey all, I recently came across the reef pi controller and am super interested in it, particularly the robo tank implementation (mostly so I don't have to learn how to build electrical circuits/solder, buy all of the tools, etc.) One question I have is which model Raspberry Pi to get. General...

    New Reef Pi Starter Component Selection

    I have a 20g saltwater aquiarium. No sump, but a nano skimmer. And I came across the reef pi and thought it could greatly improve the stability. I've seen people build ATO, but none of the ones you can buy off the shelf seem to include salinity measurement, and I feel like that would be a major...

    IT's Alive!

    I have been slowly putting my reef-pi together after the kids go to bed. I started ordering parts back at the end of November. Also there is an electronics surplus store near me that had almost everything needed that wasn't raspberry pi specific. The 12v power supply is left over from my days...

    Hello! Wish I was farther along before posting here, but alas my skills have failed me. First off, huge shout out to Rob from Robo-Tank: couldn't have made it this far without him for sure; his insight and support have made this experience really eye-opening and incredibly fun. As an...

    Double Float Switch Example

    I thought I would share my double float switch setup. I have two float switches wired in series to a common inlet. The primary float switch sits in the water. When water evaporates, the buoy sinks, and it triggers the ATO. This is normal operation. The secondary float switch sits above the...

    Help with Reef-pi light profile modes

    Hi all, Has anyone some good grasp on the reef-pi light settings? I just added a kessil a160 to my robotank (thanks for the support @robsworld78!) and for now I am running the "diurnal" profile. As far as I understood there should be an auto profile where you can set up intensity and color with...

    Reef-pi and tp-link HS300

    Hi All - I have my reef-pi setup on version 5.2 with Robo-Tank. Things have been great although one of my temp probes have been a bit iffy but I’m sure one of the probes is just bad. My issue is actually with the Kasa/TP-Link hs300 that I setup through its app. I have it working just fine...

    pH probe with atlas carrier board

    Hi, I had posted this in the dev thread but I decided it was a better idea to make my own thread. I have a Raspberry pi 2 I am trying to use for reef pi with a pond. I already have a thermometer working but I am trying to get pH working too. I bought The atlas pH circuit and the atlas carrier...

    How to install reef-pi

    Hi, over the last couple years I've been using a script I made up to install reef-pi as there's quite a few steps and easy to miss 1wire, I2C or whatever. In 95% of the cases it worked great and made things easy for people but it wasn't perfect which is why I never shared it directly. A couple...

    Viparspectra 165 pwm and reef-pi

    Hey there. I know there are plenty of threads already but I am a total noob so I’m sorry if this is a double post. I am building my reef pi to control my viparspectra 165 fixtures. I know that ML reefkeeping had an adapter for the leds for sale but they are out of stock. In a perfect world I...

    SHT20 Temperature Humidity With Reef-PI

    Hi all, I have been working on a little bit with humidity and Room temperature sensing with Reef-PI So and I want to share what I have so fare. One of the key point with my selection was that this has to be cheap while strait forward to set up. The SHT20 is a logical choice as the price is...

    Reef-pi + Arduino

    Hi all, I am in the process of crashing my first Aquarium controller. I have ordered a few parts and have a few Arduino laying around too. Reef-Pi is my preferred route although I am more experienced with the Arduinos and the C programming than Python. I have a case for the pi4b which has a...

    Reef-pi on Nano (Fluval Evo XII)

    Hey Guys, I'm new to the forum and a "legacy" hobbyist. I shut down my last saltwater aquarium more than 10 years ago in Brazil. But now that I'm leaving in US and with all the pandemic-stress I decided to go back to the Reef world with a nano. I started a Fluval Evo XII with standard...

    Timers on Reef-pi

    Hey Everyone, How Does Reef Pi's timers react to power failures? I have set my co2 up with the following timer. If I lose power before a state change, and regain it after, Will the state change be ignored? For example, if the power turns off at 11:55, then comes back at 12:05, will the co2...

    DIY CO2 Meter

    Hey Guys, I am working on a project that can measure how much dissolved co2 is in my aquarium. I have overcome a few of the major obstacles, but I have hit a bit of a wall. Has anyone done this? I am using henry's law to figure it out, if that means anything to anyone here. My current problem...

    Ph Probe

    Hey everyone, I am working on a diy ph-prob for a reef-pi unit. According to the online guide I need a barrel adaptor and some kind of ph-circuit. By the looks of it, this has both built in, but I have never made one of these before. Can someone tell me if this will connect to my Raspberry-pi...
