Nothing like floats/alarms/timers to help us old peeps

My set up has the best alarm. I witness micro bubbles being blown into the tank. Luckily my return section only goes down 1/4 gallon before I notice I've forgotten to turn the ato back on. Lol.

No bubbles here yet. I think it'd have to drop at least 10 gallons before that happened.
Definitely is a drawback having such a large return section. I think mine holds 16 gallons |

Me too. My return pump section is only 5x6x7".

Holy crap, that's not even 1 gallon
Mine's a bit overkill @ 13.25g 17.25*17.75*10 running height, but I like the extra water - I don't need to remove any from the DT during WCs. I could actually run it @ 18.5g but, if I'm thinking correctly, the lower it is the easier it is on the pump. |

Problem solved
I didn't want to install a float switch that would always be submerged just to have an alarm go off if this ever happens again. Instead I installed a switch and a flashing 12vdc led. If I unplug anything I turn on the led. If I forget to plug something back in from now on I'm smart like a bag of hammers |

That's hilarious!
Yep. Stability is key for SPS, and I figure if I can control salinity in a smaller window, why not? If you take 600 mL out of my tank the ATO kicks in. |
