Reef Central Online Community - View Single Post - HELP - Float switch failed, topped-off lots of kalk

I run a litermeter for my Kalk and I have my topoff float seperate to make up the balance.

I also only use a 10 gallon can for topoff water and both my ato and my litermeter pull from that container. With a 600 gallon system its about 2-3 days worth of water.

I do this so that even if the litermeter or ato screw up, it can still only dose a max of 10 gallons, which is only about 2 percent of my volume.

My cotainer has a kent float valve hooked to my RODI which I just turn on for a few hours every few days to refill.
