概述:
最后,我们进入了我的系列赛的结尾,我将制定一些我的未来欲望,这些欲望今天完全不存在或非常接近市场。这些是我系统中目前尚无自动解决方案的批发。这使我可以自己为D.I.Y.创新。特价或将种子种植给行业的企业家。我可能应该写一些专利申请,但我怀疑我的雇主会为处理它们而付费。这些专利至少需要4年,专利律师要花很多钱进行处理。我目前为我目前的工作行业提供了2项专利,花了很长时间,几乎完全忘记了它们。
但是最终创新仍然是推进一切的关键。例如,从Lee的木气管蛋白撇渣器到当今的循环锥撇球者需要多少创新?试想一下,即使是今天的解决方案也可以改善我们的爱好。
So what are the things I am planning to do and wish I had for my system of the future?
My ultimate wish list!
回到一个相当稳定的系统的家总是让我想知道我还能做些什么来减轻我的旅行压力。目前,我有一个简短的清单,我在上周在新罕布什尔州时一直在思考这件事。
我列出了前5名of things I would like to have and the reason:
- Automated Quarantine system
Yes I have a small 20 gallon long quarantine system setup primarily for fish but I have been lazy and reluctant to use it just because it is not connected to anything and reminds me of all the manual things I used to do before automation. I would love to add the tank downstream of my sump so every time I perform a water change it automatically fills the quarantine tank with freshly used water as a way to recycle and use the saltwater I have to the fullest yet any medicine added will never enter the display system and dump straight to my drain. I would also add a Salinity probe and dosing pump from my RO tank in case I need to perform hypo salinity treatments.
- 自动冷藏 /冷冻食品分配器
Since I already bought a new Thermoelectric refrigerator and 4 channel doser for this I might as well complete this project giving my livestock better nutrition for better health and growth. The current designs available online seem to work well but the cost of the fresh suspended liquid foods are too high in my mind so I would like a dispenser for some DIY foods I would be able to prepare as well. My one worry is spikes in PO4 if something goes wrong so there needs to be some type of safety check available.
- 自动盐水混合站
I would like to create saltwater on demand to the exact temperature and salinity since I ran out of saltwater even with a 100 gallon reserve available while out 2 weeks in Paris. This can be my next DIY expansion project since I know what I need to make one but will need to include a hopper and some industrial grade components to measure the amount of salt to be mixed. Unless I can find some low pressure electronic valves to redirect the flows I will be forced to increase the amount of pumps used from my current manual mixing design.
- 自动玻璃清洁器适用于无框坦克
I already have 2 robotic glass cleaners that have been in the market which do fine for my 125 and 90 gallon display tanks but I would love to try something that would clean more than 1 side on my 80 gallon rimless since I need to clean all sides of the frag tank.
- 实时水参数监控
当涉及到SPS时,水参数维护是国王。尽管我爱我的汉娜米,但我将无法进行测量。如果每个人都有探测器,我会购买。我为此请求所读的最接近的创新是思维式水族馆监测系统。如果它以他们声称的方式工作,并且负担得起,我会心跳加速。作为一名产品开发工程师,我知道为市场准备好需要多长时间,如果达到其所有质量,设计,可靠性和成本目标,我愿意等待它。有了这个,我可以真正拨入所有剂量,以进一步提高稳定性。
系列摘要:
I hope you’ve enjoyed reading my thoughts on reef automation. It was a great way for me to help document my system and rethink how it is used and figure out how to improve it. As in everything in life you have to strive for continuous improvement. There will always be more than one way to solve a problem, it will always depend on your system and what resources you have at your disposal. Ultimately my investments on automation have truly allowed me to stay in the hobby with the increasing demands from work, family, and life in general through the years. I am sure I have contemplated getting out like many who have hit life’s challenges but being a hardcore reefing enthusiast for the last 25 or so years I am glad I stuck with it. The stresses of maintaining a reef system is nothing compared to other stresses in life so it actually becomes a therapeutic activity during the long western New York winters. Once you conquer these little stresses then you can have you vacation and worry free reef too!
一如既往地互相学习。让我知道您是否有任何想法可以改善我的建议。请记住,良好的仓库将永远胜过世界上所有的自动化。从我的角度来看,这几天的礁石社区很棒。这是与雅克·库斯托(Jacques Cousteau)一起冒险的最接近的事情,它有助于使下一代了解我们为什么需要维护和保留海洋资源。
