As you can see, the beating heart behind my equipment is the Profilux computer.
I use it for:
- Adding CO2
- Temperature control (heating and cooling with fans in the hood)
- Dimming of the lights
- Dosing of the ferts (PP, Excel, KNO3 & KH2PO4)
- Prevent flooding of the tank
- ...
On the right you see the tube of my overflow which goes through a UV lamp (which is usually not activated) and it dumps the water in the left chamber of the sump. Water gets heated there and is supplied with CO2. You see a green pump in this chamber which pumps water through the CO2 reactor, the reactor simply returns in the same sump chamber. Then the water flows through the middle chamber which is the actual filter, then it flows to the right chamber where it is pumped back to the tank.
The container right of the sump contains the 4 fert liquids.
To the right of that are all the electrical stuff and the ballasts for the 5 * 80W T5 lamps.
