Hi All

Been a while since i have posted but here i am

some of you may remember a while back i posted about my 200gal PLC/computer controlled tank when i first got it going anyways

It has been running great couple of hick ups along the way as you expect and even survived a 12 hour long power failure :WHOA: but all good it restarted by it's self and got things all back to normal all the fish survived as well :D

Pictures tell a thousand words

still need to do the doors on the hood

The tank can be controlled via the graphics also gives alarms and data logs parameters of the tank it's still a work in progress

i did have a couple of modules in it to send out alarms via email and also to reset any alarms from the web but they started to become real troublesome so have been removed and now all alarms go via the house alarm system which i can connect to to reset the tank.

on top of that i have 2 webcams one looking at the sump and the other looking in the tank its self to keep a eye on things while i am away

hope you enjoy feel free to ask any questions hopefully i can answer them

The scaping and stock look real nice. Never seen a plc in a residential setting.
