Rearrange the tank recently and clean up all the thick coraline algae.
Still keep the tank simple, just clams and nems.

I'm halfway through designing my own roller filter. The downside of not buying a standard tank is that most products on the market don’t usually fit. The initial version will be manual; the sensor and motor will be included in a later version.

Wow, impressive. How are you fabricating these ? Below your tank looks awesome!

9 hours results, make a small update to the outside housing. Only have water go through the left and bottom only now, since the right side is completely against the wall.

This is game changing! Let me know if/when you're ready for a buying customer because I need one for my Fiji Cube 10g :)

I think it's cheaper to buy the redsea one. The only reason i went custom routine was due to the redsea one just too tall to fit my needs.
 
Before using the fleece roller, I had to manually cut the filter floss, rinse it before use, and it would only last about 18 to 24 hours before needing to be swapped out. Sometimes, if I didn't have time or felt too lazy, I'd skip the filter floss altogether. This fleece roller offers a significant improvement in convenience compared to changing out the filter floss. Now, I can just turn the knob a few times before work and again before bed.

The fleece roller uses approximately 10-12 inches of fleece per day, requiring 2-3 manual rotations daily. A 59-foot roll should last about 2 months.
It's time to switch to auto mode.
- Relay and buck converter have been ordered.
- motor, a stepper motor from my Creality period, ensure it gets enough torque and low to no noise operation.
- I'm still deciding between an optical and a mechanical sensor. anyone got experience, i read overtime the optical sensor cause issue?

After some reading, I decided to go with a capacitive contact sensors.
