![]() I used the Leonardo for my set up but actually any Arduino will do. test with test kit to confirm bugs took to the system then add fish and plants.Īdding filter material around the inner walls of the fish tank and through out the sump and gravity feed tank will be an excellent place to house billions of good bacteria that are the backbone of your Aquaponic system converting (NH4) Ammonia to (N02) Nitrites then to (N03) Nitrates which is the nitrogen the plants require and thrive on.īy using the Arduino platform it allowed me to automate my system in a low voltage/currant set up that can be powered by just two solar panels using AC as the backup. there is a shortcut that cuts that time down to about 10 days.Ĭycle your water for a few days to evaporate the chlorine, then add a bottle of pure Ammonia or food grade Ammonia then cycle for a day.Īdd a gallon of Bio bugs (AKA Nitrifying bacteria) then circulate for one week. You do not have to wait 30 days of cycling for good bacteria to form. I thank you very much, it would have not been possible without your presence. ![]() ![]() This system has totally changed my way of gardening, taking vegetable growing to a whole different level and with confidence of knowing my cute little Arduino Leonardo has my back. i also have a PH monitor planned that constantly monitors the PH level of the water controlled by the Arduino.īy adding multiple LED's to the out side cover i can at a glance tell what stage the system is in at any given moment and also with a flashing indicator LED to let me know what stage is coming up. with winter approaching i will not have fans installed just yet but in spring time i will add 24 volt low currant fan motors all controlled by your AWESOME PLATFORM. With the low voltage platform you created it allows me to go Solar with just two panels that completely covers all my power needs thus using AC as a back up ONLY in case of problems. ECO-WORTHY Solar Fountain Water Pump Kit 12 W, 196GPH+ 12 Watt Solar Panel Submersible Powered Pump for Small Pond, Garden Decoration, Pool, Birdbath(Need Sunlight) Mademax 3.5W Solar Fountain Pump with 24-Hours Working, Plug-in Outdoor Solar Water Fountain Pump with 5 Nozzles and 32. ![]() The system consist of one air pump (60 watts) not controlled by Arduino, one water pump (80 watts) and two 2 solenoid valves (12.5 watts each) controlled by Arduino Leonardo and 5 volt relays. i can not code or to say a complete newbe and the forum and my research allowed me to come up with a few programs i hacked to my desire to completely automate the water pump and valve operation in my low voltage/currant 24 volt system. I am just writing you to thank your team for the platform i used to automate my Aquaponic system. ![]()
