I need a float switch for top off and an emegency shot off for my main tank. What is everybody using?

Oceanus systems. Amazing!

http://www.oceanussystems.com/ The site is under construction for some reason. Not sure why.

I'd go with www.autotopoff.com they have great prices and they sell excellent quality float switches. I've used them on all my tanks and haven't had a problem yet.

Why a float switch instead of a float valve?

I really like the Reef Fanatic dual level controller. It has a couple of nice features. Dual switches to prevent a failure. The switch is very sensitive so that a very small drop in level kicks it in. This is important when you are using limewater topoff. It also has a hysteresis window so that the topoff pump doesn't constantly turn on and off.

www.aquahub.com . Can't beat the price ($50 inc. shipping), and mine works flawlessly. Takes about half an hour to put together.

Tunze Osmolator. Best thing I have bought for my tank.

Thanks guys. I like the dual switch controller like the reef fanatic or the autotop off. Where do you find the reef fanatic or the tunze osmolator?
