Last night I came home to a nearly empty sump and the shower pan liner in the bottom of my stand with about 2 inches of standing water. I wasn't really sure how it had happened at first, but soon realized that it was due to the skimmer overflowing.
Something made my skimmer go nuts and overflow down the connected tube, into my little waste collector outside the sump. Once this collector was full, it just overflowed out of that into the bottom of the stand (and thankfully stayed there because of the shower pan liner).
I have an Aquacontroller Jr. that controls my tank. I would like to wire a float switch to the ACJr. so that it will shut down the skimmer if it overflows again. It looks like the AC3, Apex, etc. have a breakout box for float switches, but the ACJr. doesn't accommodate a breakout box. The ACJr. manual says you can wire one float switch to the serial connector point. Has anyone done this or know how to do this?
