Is this you preparation for spring break?
Your aquarium look so clean, I must say that you did a job well done.

Hahaha yes. All spring break prep!

Added some 3D printed pieces to float switches to auto shut off individual skimmers when the collection cups are full. Currently they gurgle and overflow back into the tank should they not be emptied.

Interesting. So you would drill a hole in the bottom of the cup, insert extended float switch from the inside. What are you wiring them to? Apex?

It hangs down from the cap of the skimmer. Holes already exist there, so no modifications needed. It's wired to a breakout box/Apex.

My job is eating all my time. I miss being home and enjoying my tank. However, I also enjoy paycheques.

Looks really good! Been quite a while since I have been on here, so it’s cool to see the progression!
