Maybe this has been said already but I would appreciate 1 device to tell me what is wrong with my corals and or fish and how to fix it. Like some kind of laser beam that scans everything in the tank every say 6 hours and if something is off, sends a report saying "brain coral being attacked by sailfin - remove one or the other from tank", "frogspawn melting - sign of brown jelly" - frag damaged area. Suicidal fish risk - was out of water for 2 seconds 6 times today - cover tank". "Blue tang bullying trigger - not serious but be cautious". "Tank had a great day, relax and enjoy".

Sounds dumb, I know for some this is part of the challenge of reefkeeping, sometimes its just too late to make a difference if there's a problem.

You can do this with glass or acrylic sheets and foam weather stripping. Cut the material to the size of the baffle, but shink the sides by 1/8". Take adhesive foam weather stripping and put it on the sides. Stick it in your sump on and angle, then turn it into place. It will pressure fit into place. Uber easy.

I would like an adjustable hanger in my sump for my float linked to ATO.
Would like to move it up and down like the sensor on the tunze.

Do you mean something like this?

I have a double float switch and a solenoid from them to top off my sump directly from my RO/DI line. Cheap and fail safe.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

If those hangers don't work for you, make me a sketch of what you want and I can make something for you.

What I want is a gravity fed float that is adjustable up and down to adjust the level in the sump.
