Did it ... AGAIN

[gregzz4]

must remember to plug ATO back in after messing with tank

This is the second time this month I've left it unplugged for a couple days
Thankfully it only drives my Sg up by 1 point - loses 3 gallons/>3% in 2 days

Think I'll rig a new LED for a low sump level, or a float and alarm. After all, I am getting older

Nothing like floats/alarms/timers to help us old peeps

My set up has the best alarm. I witness micro bubbles being blown into the tank. Luckily my return section only goes down 1/4 gallon before I notice I've forgotten to turn the ato back on. Lol.

No bubbles here yet. I think it'd have to drop at least 10 gallons before that happened.
Definitely is a drawback having such a large return section. I think mine holds 16 gallons

Me too. My return pump section is only 5x6x7".

Holy crap, that's not even 1 gallon
Mine's a bit overkill @ 13.25g 17.25*17.75*10 running height, but I like the extra water - I don't need to remove any from the DT during WCs.
I could actually run it @ 18.5g but, if I'm thinking correctly, the lower it is the easier it is on the pump.
