Oceanic Corals Reef Development
 

Hi Everyone,

I would like to take this opportunity to announce that O.C.'s Research and Developement Division is up and fully operational. It will be running under a different name; O.C. Reef Developments.

The trio of Ron, Eugene, and Marc make up this new division and they are there to provide you with custom acrylic designs as well as products made from the latest technologies.

Here is a breakdown of what we have going:

Ron and Eugene: LED light project

Marc and Eugene: Acrylic projects.

So please contact that respective persons for your particular need.

At O.C. we understand that the hobbyist is the heartbeat behind this industry because without you there would be no hobby.

So we call upon each and everyone of you tell us what we can do or manufacture/Import to make your reef keeping life easier.

Thanks for reading.

On behalf or Your O.C. team.

Cheers,

Paul

Float switch holders

Great Idea!

Good call.

Already in development :mrgreen: with that in mind im still trying to find a better method of attachment from holder to glass.

Simple yet so hard to buy, if doNt want to make them your self:mrgreen:

simple, and afordable, photo boxes for top down pics underwater.

wy not use magnets?
rare earth magnets can be picked up in bulk for pretty cheap and would allow a user to adjust the float level with little to no hassle.

That's what I was just about to post:twised:

Sorry, kind of slow on this. How do you attach the float switch to magnet? what is the size of magnet do you use? Thanks

try glue...lol
gorilla glue would prob work just fine..

I've used mag floats in the past.

any size that will firmly hold your float in place, thats why rare earth is better, more power in a smaller package.

I have thought about using the neodym magnets, but the only problem is the float switches themselves are magnetically triggered. Now if the holder magnets are too strong, it will hold the switch down in a closed/open circuit and it'll top off 24/7 non stop or not top off at all... so we really have to find the right strength magnet to pair up with the float switches for that method to work.

Now if the magnets can only be so strong then glass thickness becomes something to address unless we only want it to work on 1/4" thick glass..but one possible solution to that is build the holder so it extends further out away from the magnet.
