I know for the NSLU-2/Linux, there are some answers on how to reduce the amount of read/writes to your storage medium. It does also mention that you are better off using a HDD as opposed to flash...

:D Nice work Gilles! :D

One of the great things about electronics is that you are usually limited only by your imagination.

I take it by looking at the photo's, they are dimming ballasts?
...

I agree.

I also very much doubt you are going to find someone in Canberra to build a tank of that size. The tank builder will have to come from Sydney or Melbourne and that will increase the cost...

No harm done C4Vette :D

I pretty much well learn the same way. I've been pulling things apart since I was about 5 years old to also learn how things work!!

I have downloaded WinSCP and yes, it...

That sums it up!

I have used linux before but very limited CLI usage and more the GUI packages such as Ubuntu and Debian. As you would know, these packages set everything up for you. There is no...

BI,

Help please!!

I'm trying to load the owfs-feed.conf into the /etc/ipkg directory but I can't access the admin section off the drive through network neighbourhood.

Any ideas?

I need...

I LOVE rainbow lori's. They can be such idiots!

I used to have one many years ago. :cry:

Hi BI,

Well, I bit the bullet today and bought a NSLU-2.

I have bought it because I am going to venture down the road of a setup like yours (with other features too!) but I'm also about to do a...

With the H2O2, you may be able to get it at a chemist.

H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide. Becareful with it.

A quick update on my tank too.

I treated my tank with erythromiycin on Friday afteroon. Shortly after, the BGA started to react to the treatment....

:D Thanks for that file C4Vette! :D

:shock: Solder is typically 63% tin and 37% lead for eutectic or perfect ratio solder. There may possibly be a small amount of copper (2%) which would take 1% from each other element.

And this is...

:D Nice one!

Hi C4Vette!

Do you still have the EAGLE files for the PCB. I'm interested in building one but I've also had a few queries about it too.

Thanks!

Col.

I have 4x54 watt T5 HO tubes installed on my 6 foot tank. And they are damn bright! 8-)

I have installed 2 2x54 watt OSRAM electronic ballasts that cost $320 each. Expensive? yes but they are...

Hi ILLUSN,

I too have suffered the dreaded BGA. I have managed to obtain some erythromycin form Dr Richomd Loh (fish vet)in WA. I will be dosing the tank this weekend in my efforts to rid my self...

By the looks of the first photo, it could be Blue-Green Algae (BGA) which is not an algae, it's actually a bacteria. Just confirm it with the description of algae on the plantgeek website and you...

I only run 4 x 54 Watt T5's on a 6 foot by 2 by 2 and I'm very impressed with the amount of light they punch out. They also run a lot cooler than a MH which run hot and can be a problem depending on...

My personal recommendation would be NOT to use it even with a step-down transformer.

Some are motors are built to be optimal at a frequency. ie 60Hz or 50Hz. Changing frquency can be done but...

This is what my tank looked like several weeks after it had been setup.

It passed through this phase a few times so I bit the bullet and purchased a UV. I kid you not, 5-7 days later it was...

Nice one taksan!

I love the Congo's. I have two at the moment and I'm waiting for the LFS to get more in.

Those T5 HO's put out some light don't they!

I agree...

Hmmmm, C4Vette something I like about that name! Welcome!

Removing him won't be a problem. He practically eats out of my hand when I feed all the other fish. Just slip the net in and he's mine! :twisted: It's how I transferred him from the other tank just...

Have a look at this website http://www.plantgeek.net/article_viewer.php?id=9 and down towards the bottom you'll see some pretty good pics of an SAE. Flying Foxes are dark on top and the SEA's are not...
