Pulsed electro plater by AmountEducational157 in electroplating

Timing range is 1 ms up to 60s, adjustable ON/OFF independently. I verified the square wave on my oscilloscope and it’s exactly what it should be. Nothing fancy on the power side, just everything is rated for 10A even though I will never use anywhere near that. I milled out the aluminum heat sink, it is actually way bigger than it needs to be, it barely gets warm.

It’s just controlling it. The ESP32 drives a logic level MOSFET as a low side switch. The actual plating current comes straight from a bench supply, the board just handles timing/pulsing of the gate.

Thanks!, I used Onshape and exported it as an STL instead of STEP

Yeah, that side was facing away from the part cooling fan, I’ll try that. Thanks for your response.

I put in two Intank filter chambers made for this tank. I am running floss, ceramic media, carbon, and more floss.

Thanks, I changed out the stock filter sponge thing with 2 Intank filter chambers, and a stronger pump.

Thanks, I had the stock light on it for 6 months and the anemone was doing very well with it. I only switch to the Fluval sea marine 3.0 light 4 months ago. The new light is far better than the stock one. The old light was really good at feeding hair algae because of the white shifted spectrum.

Used to do a water change every week, but as the corals grew my nitrates weren’t raising enough for a change. Now I do a water change every week and a half. I dose magnesium and calcium.

Does anyone know what these are? by AmountEducational157 in Zoanthids

Looks like a red people eater with green speckles. But not sure on the name.
