Well guys I’m using a fairly basic setup here for my 13.5G. Found a nice ramp up timer that worked with the stock light which allows me to have different intensities through out the day. I went manual full on 2 days ago for some tank maintenance. Just today I noticed it was manually on. Shocked my Elegance and bubble pretty good.
Knowing what’s going on with your tank at all times is a huge deal.
Aquarium Controllers and WiFi would of helped me a ton with this. Sometimes the basic way or cheaper way isn’t always your best option.
Corals will be fine. It’s just lights out till tomorrow.
Initially when I built this set up I wanted the tank to have some type of automation and redundancy but didn’t want to break the bank.
I’m a believer in WiFi and Aquarium Controllers after this.
Sorry it’s not really an emergency as I know the corals will be fine. It’s not a high intensity light their just gonna need some rest. Curious if anyone knows of a budget WiFi aquarium controller? I’m kinda re considering that idea.
