Been Mired Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 For only ten bux I bet this would keep something topped off... just not accurately enough to maintain salinity, right? https://photos.app.goo.gl/K6z0RDKQjy5vxLxI3 What else could you see getting in the way of pulling this off successfully as a DIY? Tee-hee, the brand is "Dare-o-matic"... anyone Dare me to try it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshhamp Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Check out this thread. I've made two of these DIY auto topoffs and they were about $10 in materials and then just added the aqualifter pump. Pretty easy build as well. works great and saved about $100. http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forum/index.php?threads/chipmunks-diy-ato-guide-step-by-step.64681/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to remind everyone: NOTE: this project deals with electricity in sufficient quantities to damage equipment, harm livestock, cause fires, and even KILL YOU. I am going to be as clear and concise as possible, but if you are at all unsure about what is shown here or you are not 100% confident in your ability to work with electricity, DO NOT attempt anything here. This is no joke. 🤦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 It did autocorrect. But that diy project is fun and easy. I am getting ready to make one for the frag tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
