Sorry to keep the derailing going
I had my new Neptune ATK fail after a couple months. The sensors would cause the ATK to not fill, then completely fill and the end result....300g SPS dominant with a lot of wipe out due to salinity fluctuations. So in short, I totally understand the fear of a mechanical or optical float.
