Aquarium controller

[Jaap]

Hello,

I was thinking of starting a project to create an automatic doser so that the user could set a time of day where the automatic doser would pump a set amount of mls from a specific container of micros or macros. Giving it further thought I guess someone could expand on the project by adding ph sensors, co2 sensors etc.

Apart from that though would you guys add anything more practical to this "aquarium controller" to assist you?

Thanks

PS: There might be something already built out there but I m doing this as a hobby which might become something nice.

Does it really work? I though it was much more expensive...

They work, but you need to wire in the electrics if you know how to do that!
