I am going a build an ATO for my 40 gallon with 20L sump, but I am not sure what size tank to use to hold the water, I will be gone for a week in July so it will need to last about that long if not longer.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Float-Valve...ltDomain_0&hash=item43b0a2c4c7#ht_3051wt_1110 I am thinking this float valve because I won't have to drill into my sump at all, as I don't trust myself haha. Then what pump should I use? As I don't think I can do gravity fed, unless i build a small stand taller than the level of my sump. But then my next question, is gravity fed more reliable?
I think that 15 gallons should be enough to cover the evap, as a 5 gallon bucket lasts almost 4 days.
Please let me know what you guys all think about what I should do for this, as I need to start ASAP on this project
