hey guys i've been googleing around trying to find a float switch application that i can put into my AquaC waste collector as a 2nd level of Skimmer shutoff..

basically i'm looking for a simple float switch that when triggered it will turn off my skimmer..

found this but the float is too big..

Use a relay so you only have 12v or 24v DC in your tank rather than 120v AC.

How would I accomplish this? I'm not to keen on electrical.

I really just want a float switch to turn off the skimmer.

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
