The switch holder doesn't need to be anything elaborate... I have mine mounted to mini mag-floats.

lol

 

[Wolfgang]

Your Right Kreeger! I'll just wait till he gets it and re sells it on Craigslist!
Shakes head back

 

[Kreeger1]

good call...lol but he was the one that asked for it first

 

[rob.holbrook]

why do I not think he is going to sell something he is asking for on craigslist, anyways if he wants to buy something and sell it it is his business.

its no different than you buying a used car and selling it at day later. Who cares.

 

[aznnutty]

i didn't know i was so popular? why would i buy something i woudn't need? if i have something i don't need, yes i will sell it, trade it or trash it. anyways, ben how much are you asking for and how old is it? i'm not farmiliar with ato systems and to be honest, kindda afraid if it jamming up and over flooding my tank but i'm going to be away from my tank this holiday and need to fix the evaporation problem. who ever i buy it from would that person show me how to set it up too? im going to have some time tomorrow between 3-7pm. i sent all pms back thanks

 

[aznnutty]

hey Tswifty8, thanks for the link, i just don't have the time right now to build an ato but thanks for the help, much appreiciated...

 

[Tswifty]

No worries... it's a simple DIY project if you're in a pinch. I'm planning on setting up one in that fashion on my frag tank once the main display is up and running.

Whatever system you ultimately choose, I would recommend one which utilizes 2 float switches... one to signal the pump on, and one for a max limit, to signal the pump to shut off if the first switch would happen to fail or stick on.

Also, the Tom's Aquatics Aqualifter pumps make great ATO pumps, and are only around $12.

Hey Tj, do you have a link to how you made your DIY ATO setup?

 

[Tswifty]

I haven't made the DIY top off yet, I had most of the items collected (just needed the float switches), but Kevin offered me an all in one unit made by Top Dose.

Here is the link to the one I'll more than likely use on my frag tank:
