I use this

http://reefgadgets.com/controllers/computers/neptune-systems-i-o-breakout-box-apex/

with this setting
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Sw4 CLOSED Then ON
If FeedD 240 Then OFF


It connects the float switch to you apex

This is what I use on my ATO. It doesn't have any fail safes programed in but it turns my small pump on for 1 minute everyday to replace water. You can use this to program the outlet and figure out the fail safes that you want to add.

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 13:30 to 13:31 Then ON

How long have you run it like this? Have you had any problems with salinity swings?

I use a similar code with my float switch. I added this line of code to protect against a failed float switch (which has happened):
Min Time 010:00 Then OFF
If the switch fails and the pump keeps running it will shut off in 10 minutes and email me that there is something wrong. It's come in handy a few times.

Been running a few months, no issues so far. I do weekly water changes, checking my salinity when I do them, and it has stayed constant.

Can you do the same for max time?
