What is the smallist simplist ATO float switch? I have a autotopoff.com double one for my big tank and that would be to big for my picotope...


Thanks

If you want a small sensor... Go Optical

are they simple and cheap? I figured no..haha link?

Why not go Digital Aquatics? Has anyone tried one on such a small pico?

Smallest one you can get for a decent price. I use these on my PicO ATO units.
$10 and a address and it's all yours.


I have a bunch If anyone else needs them

ask el fabuliso, he has a really small top off switch, there is a website that sells them, $2 for 1 switch or $5 for 12

anyone know that site? Id like to order one soon.

cdelicath do you have a site or use paypal? I dont do paypal. Cause $10 sounds simple!

pm el fabuliso

got it, done and ordered. Thanks all! esp el fab.

Also , im assuming that the SOP for the switch is splice it into an expention cord? Also DIY snail guards, material?

Thanks again

nvm, no info needed, el fab just hooked it up

What is the site? Please post a link thanks!

got the tiny one. It should work well!

Those are the guys behind aquahub.com. I recently purchased their ATO kit. You won't be dissapointed with the sensor!

Does anyone know if the ATO's that you guys mention, will work with the Reef Keeper lite? I know that DA has their own version and it looks tiny but I have not see it.

Would like to know if anyone out there is using the listed ones with a RK L, or how about just the RK L ATO?

Thanks,

You would just the floats and a seperate pump if you're going to be using the Reefkeeper and as far as I'm aware, you'd need the SL1 attachment for the RKL.

I'm curious about the details of setting one of these up. What else is needed besides the switch? Another switch for a backup/auto shut off? A relay? What kind of wiring? How do I determine what pump to use? Whats best container to use for my DI water (i.e. milk jug ok?) Is there a post somewhere with a basic guide for DIY auto top off? Sorry for the question spam

Pmed.

Im going to use a 3 gal water container (yes same volume as the display tank haha). I am running one switch, I have a double on my 75gal(for obvious reasons) but it has never been needed. Plus worst case I have 3 gal of water on my floor, not the end of the world.

Baroose_Le: Go to aquahub.com and look at the Top Off Kits. It comes with everything you need except tubing, an extension cord, and a pump.

The SL2 and the SW5 from DA will also work with an ATO, SL2 being the much more versatile (and pricier)
module.




JINX ALERT!!

WORST worst case is the pump doesn't shut off, floods out your tank, killing everything in it from the salinity drop AND putting a 3 gallon puddle on the floor. Odds of this? Pretty darn slim as you know from your 75g.
