Well I just set up the 30 again a few weeks ago and thats as long as I could take having to manually do water changes. I had this tank set up before with an automatic float valve and I hooked it up with one again today. It also makes a nice center brace , I always hated the way the tank bowed.


Now I love to do water changes again :):nilly::duh::screwy::iagree:

Awesome!
 
The water line is hooked up to my old 3 stage R/O unit but the R/O mambrane part has been removed so it's just a water filter with 2 particle filters and a charcoal filter. It runs to the tank . Keeps the water level from dropping and when I do water changes it slowly refills the tank. I hate 5 gal buckets for doing water changes :)
I also have one on the 125 that REALLY makes water changes a breeze. The water line is tee'd in the attic.
I am the only one that I have seen that has done this .I'm sure there must be others but it's not something that you see , I haven't .
The pics aren't that good .

yah thaks fishshrod i looke it up online and there is a how to article on setting a float valve in a very similar way to how you did it.
 
Keep an eye on the float! The Kent unit on my RO reservoir has stuck in a down position twice when I allowed the level in the tub to go really low. With an RO system flowing a couple of hundred gals. a day a flood happens fast enough, but with your system working off of line pressure and no membrane you have a potential for catastophe! Never trust the float enough to not watch the tank fill.
