Love diy count me in.

How about a DIY banner. That would be cool.

Love DIY as well. My Crazy refuge/sump build for a 54 gal. corner bow stand. Let me tell you, it don't come out without cutting it up or removing the tank. LOL
This, as U can see drove me nuts but, turned out to be a super sweet set-up.

Will be attempting an ATO build with cheap parts. Found at local electronics store, small pressure switch that as I push into it, over it's length does two changes. It changes two different sets of poles (a NO and a NC).
Gonna run 12vdc splice off something I have already to power a relay that when "low" will power a small pump to put RODI/Kalk into the tank. When "high" will cut power off.

Already got the homemade sump going - next up in 2018 will be a new display tank custom made. I've watched every single video of Uarey Joey (DIY King) over the years. So that makes me - not an expert. Or an expert at Patience.

Hope I understand what you mentioned. See my diy and hopefully something in there works for you, if so I'll go into detail. Good reefing. Search
DIY-Tide control reef system (low budget)

Mark, for ATO, check out THIS BUILD....can't see why you wouldn't be able to substitute pressure switches for the float switches.

Thanks. I will definitely check that out. Even Joey on his YTube channel has one with a floating thing and relay.

Nice...you need to create a thread showing step by step how you set that backup system up!

InspectorGadget · Dec 19, 2017

All in! My entire setup is diy except for the pumps.

Should check out my thread as I'm remodeling my display. Similar to Joey

Just a thought, there's pressure switches for induce draft motors for home furnace. They activate with vacuum, make a fitting with venturi in it, easier to activate. Induce draft Motor pressure switch.

I'm in. My specialty is DIY LED fixtures. I like doing stuff with electronics. I'm not too good with plumbing and woodworking, but I know enough to be dangerous.
