wasp Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'm wanting to set this up, just wondering the best way to do it. I'm hoping to achieve a level that never varies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misnoma Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'm about to play this game too. My current plan was to dredge up the thread in here where someone could get plastic float switches for about $20ish... and go from there. Plan being to have a container of freshwater, and have the floatswitch control an airpump pushing into that container, forcing freshwater into the tank. You could also have the switch power a pump if you wished. I would like to know if there are any alternatives to the float switch however... like perhaps setting up a probe or something similar in the tank to sense the water level. (yes, I'm paranoid about flooding the tank ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lower one that turns on when the water is too low and a higher one that turns OFF when it's too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
