Everyone with a tank has a certain level of automation. I assume you have a heater with a thermostat, a light with some kind of timer, maybe even an ATO?
I have all of the above, a controller, an alk tester, and doser. Don't need most of it to enjoy the hobby, but like most hobbies, the gadgets are funI like having objective measurements of things that are going on in my tank, some people prefer sticking to the eye test.
And I'm lazy, oh so very lazy
Hello,
Ahhh actually probably my heaters are thermostat controlled so I have to manually set them. But If you consider a simply relay switch or circuit automation lol then I have automation.
I use the current mArine orbit pro (high powered ones not the Ic pro version, if your curious its model 4117). It comes with a basic ramp timer with a remote but it’s nothing like the new leds like ghl x7 or kessil that needs internet or links etc. all of my wave makers are the eflux from current so it’s more manual I have to set them or if I want to change them I have to manuall do so with the remote on the Ic controller or Bluetooth (that I had set up before I moved). But that’s it on my tank, everything is literally manual. So I keep my own records changes stcs by physically logging them. I’d use my lamp top but since I use it for patients I Don’t let it leave my office for security reasons.
