I do it in my system. 5 gallon bucket with a Maxi 400 and a small valve.
No float switch. Using an automatic timer with 6 settings of 5 minutes each throughout the night. I adjust the valve setting to get the correct amout of top off per day, generally 1 gal. I tune the amount of Kalk/Vinegar in the bucket to match the demand of the corals.

Doesn't matter how much you have been reading until you take the plunge.
You don't know as much as you think.
