I use the inkbird as well. Excellent little gadget. I have one on my tank, on on the chickens watering bucket, and one I used to replace my outdoor wood boiler thermostat. All working great.

Thanks!Now i can order one Inkbird without hesitation.Yeah... the Inkbird works very well...I use it to control heating and cooling... it’s simple, but has good features...
This is good to know, as I was checking out their 40 breeder kit.I've got an extremely custom angled sump. Baffles were too big.
Super high technologies advanced electronics control panel board. I think I'll patent it.
Removable overflow screen held on by zip ties
I am going to absolutly steel this idea, I have been trying to decide how I was going to cover my over flow.
Go ahead, this is why we post.
I should note, the holes are rather small and Ive had my salinity drop due to over topping off from ATO. Sludge builds up and its hard to remove, I since made little rectangle cutouts (2 small squares wide) and it has reduced the amount of Top Off water but still to the point I must clean them daily (a little irritating for myself). I might start using a toothbrush to maintenance them.
With that said, I've found baby brittle stars on them so they are keeping the things I want to stay in my display.
I was actually thinking for the top of my overflow. I figure I may have to cover the grill one day am going to try and avoid it. But I think the same design could be used on top of it, to keep fish out of the overflow. Excellent idea sir and thanks for the tips if I use on the grill of the overflow.
Does this work? I've been thinking about doing this
14 gallon Coralife Biocube with “Joey” overflow and 20 gallon Rubbermaid sump with ice buckets to contain live rock, macro algae an mini skimmer...
DIY chiller - mini fridge, reinforced tubing with tubing coiled in cage made from Closet Maid shelving... Hummingbird controller...
What about using smaller tubing to decrease the amount of flow and increase volume.Yeah... I was hesitant to try it for that reason... the pvc “cup” on the left side of the sump will run dry if the water level drops to its rim...
The chiller works ok for my cube... it could use more volume, though... couldn’t find the perfect jug to fit to maximize the volume of water in the chiller...
I’ve had no issues, so far... I switched return pumps to a more powerful, variable speed Jebao to improve turnover... I also used a larger “anti-overflow” container connected directly to the Jebao which has run-dry protection...Does this work? I've been thinking about doing this
It’s worth a try... my next attempt will likely be a larger refrigerator with more tubing (same diameter) or a single reservoir of chilled water...What about using smaller tubing to decrease the amount of flow and increase volume.
I like the idea of putting a reservoir on the fridge. Let it hold for an hour then pump nice and slow?It’s worth a try... my next attempt will likely be a larger refrigerator with more tubing (same diameter) or a single reservoir of chilled water...
Yeah... either that or put the coiled tubing in the water (better heat transfer than air)...I like the idea of putting a reservoir on the fridge. Let it hold for an hour then pump nice and slow?
Love this setup, I am switching to a poly stock tank for my sump and was thinking of ways to mount a heater. I see that you said they are 1/2" tee's cut down have you test fit different heaters or are all heaters the same diameter?Heater bracket:
