With the heatwave is here, the fan running 24/7 on my tank. It causes the water to evaporate fast on my nano.. My tank is only 79 degree which is a good thing 8) ..

ATO...best investment I ever made. I used to top off 5g/week on my FW tank. Drove my wife nuts when the water went low and the return flow made splashing noise.

I use the same brand of float switches as what Phongs are made with but i did the work myself. Very reliable float switches :)

Mines all 6vdc so no real risk of getting hurt :D Well, if you busted open the wallwart and grabbed the AC terminals you might get hurt :lol: No soldering needed in that project :D
