So the next element that i would like to add to my reef aquarium is an auto-top off system. I don't have room above the sump to place a container of top off water but i can place it next to my sump. I have been doing reading about float switches and using them with pumps but I'm not sure if I...

never heard of that place in orange park but i never go all the way out there either

Originally Posted by LexLuethar How much did that end up running you? Was it cheaper to do that for quantity wise rather then getting cubed frozen foods? I'm extremely interested in doing the same thing! The ingredients cost me $17.83 and I have 3 ziploc sandwich bags with ground up seafood...
