RE: RE: Fish Tank Automation
Ah..... fond memories of 30 gallons of tropical marine - thats SALT water,
all over the lounge floor when a pipe to the filtration unit went pop.
Thank goodness for floorboards and being downstairs.

Hia Stuart,
Automatic fish-tank-topper-upper sounds like a nice idea. I set
something similar up several years ago when I had several tanks....
just
don't make the school-boy error of having the water inlet running down
towards the bottom of the tank - have it just peeping over the rim.
Otherwise, catastrophic mid-pumping failure causes a powerful siphon
which ........ I'm just too ashamed......

Subject: [ukha_d] Fish Tank Auotmation
Hi All,
WIth the arrival of the warm weather I am once again greeted by the
problem of water evaporation from my tropical fish tank.
I'm trying to devise an auto-top up system, basic idea being to have a
water level sensor, and an undertank resevoir.
1) Water Level Sensor - Easy, some form of
float switch
2) Resevoir - Either pumped, or the option I'm currently prefering, air
driven, basically take a sealable brewing barel, fill with water,
connect
air pump to top, use pump to push water out of resevoir.
Any thoughts / comments
Stuart
