Thanks guys. The only thing is I'm planning on doing a Herbie drain and need to fit two 1" drains in there (emergency & main). If i put the overflow...
I will soon be installing my internal overflow box but am not sure how far down to place it so that the waterline won't be seen. I have the BRS...
Yes as suggested reverse the float for the high water switch since this should be "Open" when in the down position. But also, put a mulitmeter...
Yup referring to an ATO, my source is my home RO system. Yeah, screw float valves, I think those are less reliable then float switches though...
Well the purpose of 2 float backups in the sump is if the primary float sticks or malfunctions. What I'm concerned with more is that if for some...
So I was wondering, what normally floods first? Is it usually your sump or the display tank? Might be a general question (sorry), just trying to...
Yup this is what I have planned right now. I have the Neptune B/O box and plan to have 3 float switches dedicated to sump water level.
Yeah that's what I was figuring. I think I will switch to plastic then. I just wasn't sure about reliability, that was the reasoning for going with...
I have SS 304 floats. I guess I'll just need to monitor for rusting.
Is it safe to use stainless steel (304) in saltwater aquariums?
So I am now contemplating doing a 29gal instead of the 20H since its a bit longer. It'll fit in my 65gal tank stand but only if I install it from the...
Sweet!! I've also gone to the sump side with my 65gal. I'll be following along with your build to compare notes ;D
Ok, so finally got to draw what I think I want to build. This first one is just two chambers since I'm not going to do a refugium or anything like...
Did you double up the 3/32" or use just a single sheet of 3/32?

Like I was saying, very limited selection of places to go. You don't want to know how much I was quoted at a local shop to cut basic 1/4" glass.......
I went to the local HD and they had glass sheets in 3/32" thickness. Do you think this will be ok for baffles? The size will perfectly fit in my...
Yeah, it's basically flush against the wall currently so I don't have much clearance. Also, I plan to put a 3D rocky background, so I didn't want to...
Yeah I figured. Back also isn't an option since the tank has to sit pretty close to the wall else it will stick out too much into the walkway...
