Long shot bluefish mini board

Diyreef8401 · Aug 1, 2020

I know it is an extreme long shot, but many years ago there was a member on another forum the name was o2surplus. That person designed. 6 up ldd board with fan controllers that a bluefish mini could plug into. Does anyone have one they would be willing to sell or does anyone know if that user is still out there somewhere.

Sadly, Aaron (O2surplus) passed away around a year or so ago. With luck, there may be a few of his boards still out there. I have 2 of these boards in my 150g and they work well. However, you can also interface the Bluefish mini with many other LDD based boards out there from Steve's, RapidLED, etc. They are just not as convenient as Aaron's boards. I have 2 other systems running this way...

That is sad to hear. I am currently using corallux boards. Unfortunately the board he designed would be perfect for my next project. It cleans everything up.

Agree 100%. Try on the other big reef board and perhaps also on the planted tank forums where he more frequently hung out.

I was able to get an 02surplus board. ( thank you Cflow ) was wondering if you had directions for it. Mainly the jumper positions for ganging channels together. And do I need to power the Arduino portion.

The onboard arduino does not need separate power. It and the bluefish mini draw from the board itself. I hope the mods don't mind this link to another board (that board certainly doesn't like it) but this should be helpful re the jumpers:
