Did it ... AGAIN

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.

I love my apex. Float for the sump being too low, float for sump being too high, and float for the ato reservoir. I programmed in timers so if one of the levels stays too low or too high for too long, then it starts playing the death march, it texts me, and sends me an email!

If I manually turn anything off like the ATO, I get a text message. I can log in from the road and fix it!

I agree stability is key. Mine runs at around 350ml

I have a controller for the system, I just don't trust submerged floats in saltwater
