DIY Auot-top off in 4 steps

Ok, need pics with this. How far do you stick the tube in the jug?
Is the jug higher or lower than the tank?

Hey thats good idea and will work for a small tank like 33 gal or so.
The only mode i can think of is to secure the air tubing with something like a plastic bar that will hold it in place just below water line and making a tiny hole on top part in the milk jug for better flow.
Might need some testing though.

Nice idea for a top off thought

Pretty much the same concept as the Kent Aquadose:

You can always add a JG ballvalve to control drip-rate.

If you pilfer an IV dripper from a hospital the next time you get palyotoxin poisoning from fragging zoas that's just as good. Here's the gardening version from Lee Valley:

What I do when i am on vacation or just as a top off.

20 L plastic container from my water cooler: free
3 feet of airline tubing: 1.50
a ballvalve: 4.00
refill the plastic bottle at RO H2O station 2 blocks from my house: $1.50

I put the bottle on my bucket of seasalt (so its higher then the sump) then I start a syphon from the plastic container to the sump, and set the valve so it drips a drop every second or two. l leave it behind the tank and make sure to seal off the big plastic bottle so it does not evaporate. For a few weeks you are set, as it evaporates the water drips slowly into the sump and refills it with premium water!
