My Aquarium Showcase
I had this on my sump a little over a month and just changed to a larger tank and sump and no longer will use this. Its like new as in pic and ready to enjoy. $90 Plus ship at $13. Paid $246 at Marinedepot.com. What does this do?
. Using a properly sized drain system will guarantee that the aquarium can always handle whatever amount of water the return pump throws at it. Drilling a siphon-break in the return line, just below the water line, can keep display water from siphoning into, and overflowing, the sump in the event the power goes out or the return pump gets stuck. Yet even though fortune favors the prepared aquarium, there are situations where even the above preparations are not enough.
That’s where the Tunze 7607/2 comes in. It is the last line of defense between the slings and arrows of outrageous misfortune and your beautiful hardwood floors. This Water Level Alarm features three independent water-level sensors, a control board and display with audible alert and a switched power socket. Two of the level sensors are used to detect an overflow event, either in the sump or display, and the third sensor detects a run-dry event. The switched socket is under normal circumstances always live; when the controller detects either an overflow or run-dry event in the sump or in the display, power to the socket is interrupted. By plugging your return pump and protein skimmer into this socket (by means of a power strip) you can prevent both from getting damaged if the sump level falls too low. This will also prevent the display from overflowing, by turning off the return pump when the display level gets too high (as would happen with a clogged drain).
