![]() I watched a video on you tube where a guy sealed a 5 gal pail with a hole drilled in top and bottom of side of Pail. Two John guest fittings put in drilled holes with tubing going into sump. The bottom hole tubing is secured low in sump and the top hole to where you want water level at highest. When water level falls below top piece of tubing it allows air into bucket letting water flow out bottom tubing when top lline is in water again it creates vacuum in pail stopping the water flow.
The pail must be sealed. Lid and fittings should be silicones on. If not then pail will m t out |

![]() +1 on the Tunze. I love mine.
For dosing pumps I'm running a BRS 1.1ml/minute doser. Works extremely well. I just put mine on a timer. |

![]() I'm thinkin of going the jbj auto topoff system, looks pretty simple, however i like the tunze system as it has a backup switch to ensure the system continues to work. Just a bit pricey

![]() We have a decent selection for dosing/top off. The aqua house dosers are good quality and are only $99. If you want to go with a higher end doser you can go with the fauna marin pump. I personally use this on my system and couldn't be happier with it for my calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium dosing.

As far as I know very few companies offer this level of service, and somehow I doubt JBJ is also on of these few companies. Just something else to consider for the extra price. |
