The question came up in another thread as to how everything fit into the rear chamber of this tank. Here are a few pics to show along with measurements and details of setup.

Spec V total dimensions : 17.2 "L x 6.3"W x 10.6"T

 

Spec iii total dimensions : 10.8"L (front/back) x 8.7"W x 11.8"T

 

Pump side Chamber Measurements : 3.5"wide x 2" front to back x ~12" tall

 

 

emergency float to prevent overfill attached to lid

mini-jet 606 sits below main float , and heater sits toward the center of the chamber just below dosing lines.

water level stays at the 8" mark which keeps the pump and heater submerged very well. There is about .75" between dosing line output, and surface of water in the chamber. Water would get to the 9.5" mark before emergency float shut off the ATO (aqualifter).

Can you list the parts and where you got them?

How will your emergency float prevent overfill when it's above the lid?

It is inside the lid , I had the lid flipped open to show parts

Beautiful aquascaping. I find it difficult to create anything really creative or particularly original in cubes tanks, some many people just end up stacking rocks in a mound.

Thanks. Now can you list the steps to install the float switch? :flower:

 

Also why is it a float switch to prevent overfill, why not a float switch to add top off?

 

Also, what are you using for an ATO pump?

It has 2 floats . One to fill , and one emergency shut off if things go crazy . Using an auqalifter for the pump

Diagram? Pictures? I'm sorry this is all alien to me.

How does the overfill switch work - it kills the pump - how? I'm only used to the JBJ ATO - the float switches connect to a controller. Do you have a controller?

No controller , just an inline relay.
