Hello, are any DIYers here? I need information about aquarium flowmeter. I am thinking about flowmeter integration in to existing SimACo controller. There are several typas available on Ebay. Maybe someone has build filter flow measurement. It would be good to get information about meter type...

Good automated fertilizing system i made from this page that i found in internet: https://sites.google.com/site/yourcreativeautomation/diy-auto-dosing-system-for-the-aquarium-ii . It is simple solution with peristaltic pumps. Works about month already without any problems.

Peristaltic pump is far more acurate compared wiht ordinary pump, it is designed for low amounts of fluid. Thats why i chose peristaltic pump. The most cheaper dosing pump can dose only 25ml of fertilizer per minute. There is no other type of pump, which flow rate is so small.

I have seen automatic dosing system at aquarium automation. It is quite cheap, but can exactly dose required amount of fertilizer. There is all needed information: schematics, misrocontroller software and manual how to use it.
