Can you link to that thread Jon?  I cannot seem to get a search toturn it up, thanks.  I am thinking of using your top off to stir akalk reactorish thing.

Thanks,

You can leave him my number if you like, and if he has a question I'll..... post it here.  ]]> Fri, 07 Apr 2006 16:12:24 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11477&PID=106732&title=auto-topoff#106732 <![CDATA[Auto Topoff : Jason - I&#039;m with Adam ...

Jason - I'm with Adam ...

DO NOT MAKE A MAJOR MODIFICATION AND THEN GO OUT OF TOWN!

Until you're confident in your new top off system, have someone come over and pour water into your tank. If I were closer, I'd volunteer.

Good luck.

Thanks for the offer Connie.  One of my friends is thinking about coming out this weekend and if I can't get it setup he said he doesn't have anything better to do than stay at my house and use my internet for a game we play, so I should be ok.  ]]> Fri, 07 Apr 2006 12:08:14 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11477&PID=106686&title=auto-topoff#106686 <![CDATA[Auto Topoff : If you want, I can stop off while...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11477&PID=106638&title=auto-topoff#106638 Author: Angel

If you want, I can stop off while you're away.  I'm not super experienced but might be able to recognize a catastrophy.  ]]> Fri, 07 Apr 2006 09:23:24 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11477&PID=106638&title=auto-topoff#106638 <![CDATA[Auto Topoff : This is what I did and works great.

This is what I did and works great.
I just bought the switches from them and got the relay from radio shack.

Nothing like a deadline to get you motivated; at least it works wonders for me.

I've considered asking someone for a favor.  Angel lives just a couple blocks away and top off is only really necessary once a day.  I've just wanted an auto top off for awhile and this would be great time to do it.  I'm usually confident enough in my projects that if it doesn't fail within the first 24 hours than it's going to be good so I think 5 days should be enough. 

I'd also hate the responsibility of looking over someones tank while they're out of town.. (Even though I'm only going up to Park City )  I also figure if something were to happen on a normal day noone would notice until it's a catastrophic failure anyway since I'm hardly ever home as it is.

Sounds to me like you have plenty of time.

You're in Tooele!  Just have someone come over and watch your tnk a couple times until you get back.  To me that is a whole lot safer than installing a new float system then heading out of town.
