I have 4 of these, $10 for all. I can get a pic if there is any interest

Thanks. I bought the ebay ones above and it ended up costing ~$4.50 each. Your offer is a great deal. I built my ATO and took pics but I haven't had the time yet to make a DIY post. It was the best upgrade I have done so far for this tank.

do you need a vertical or horizontal float switch to make it work?

I used the vertical ones as pictured in the Ebay link. It sits in my back compartment and is working a treat. This last week my little 12 gallon tank is going through about 0.75 gallons a day of fresh water as I blow across the surface with fans to keep it cool.

If anyone has 2 of these to spare I would like to purchase them.
NOTE: The ebay ones are what I had, and now I need new ones as the ones I had are now sticking either on or off and need to be tapped rather hard to reset them. I will be in Calgary at the end of the month if that makes any difference.
Sorry to hijack (more of a bandwagon jumping)
