DIY top off?
 
Can anyone recommend a good diy top off system?

I have an electric float switch ( not sure how to hook that up ) pwr heads etc.

or I could also run a gravity fed system or drip system. Is there a fullproof top off system?

Any thoughts would be helpful. :biggrin:

Thanks

Hi Kallum

My gravity system work fine. You are welcome to take another look.

Hi Tom,

Thanks, I'll have to swing by sometime and take another look. I'm not sure which system is better for me only because of the limitted space I now have.

We'll have to set something up soon.

cheers.

gravity feed thru an abs float valve is the way to go.

This is the system I used and it works pretty good for me so far, about 1yr.

I only have a 55Gal with a 5Gal top off jug, if you have a bigger tank you might want something else.
