Hi guys,
I have a old water pump u used to use with my 90 ga(its really some power head with tube on it) and i would put it in my bucket and turn it on and pump water into my sump. now that my tank dosent have a sump its hard to get water into it and since im not always home and want to keep matinace easy for my dad. (heres my build http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2247037). what i want to do is use this as a ATO with 2 float switches. one in my bucket (upside down so when the water gets low it wont run the pump, and one for the tank. i also want to make a mount. but i also want to use this as a regular pump for when i do a water change. it it possable i can hook up two floats and a main switch to override the floats? so i can switch betwen a ATO and a pump? if this makes any sense? thanks for any help!
