Haha...I wonder who would give you a push like that!
 Tank is looking good and so are those lights! Which ones are those again?

Hard lesson.
We never use a top-off container larger than what would fit in the sump if our ATO fails.

yikes! Sorry to hear man.. I lose sleep over this worry. To combat Murphy here I too use a smaller ATO reservoir (8g) as well as a secondary emergency shut-off float switch to kill the ATO pump in the event that the water gets too high in the sump.

Wow, sorry to read about your disaster. I use a 5g salt bucket for my ATO & this is one of the reasons why. Ouch. Glad things are on the mend though.

Thanks all for the encouragement. I have a Video i made when i was reviewing the LEDs when they first arrived. I might take off the audio of me droning on about dimmer knobs and lighting spectrum and post it a bit later if i get a chance. Then you can see some fishies swimming around. Nick

yes as it is a mecanical settings, which you adjust with a little screw.
Anything can fail but if the jbj fail, it will rather stop working instead of flooding the tank. It's pretty much fool proof. In case of power outage, it will simply resume working once the power is back because it is relying on the float switch. If the float switch gets stuck, it will work 3 minutes (adjustable) max.

Here is the video of my tank from not to long ago. Just turn volume down/off so you don't have to listen to my ramblings. I wish i knew how to take out audio and edit in some majestic music(or a Justin Beiber song).
