| I am building a water level controller for a 1 and a 2 gallon fish tank. I am using 2 float switches for it, and I have 2 pumps. I want to control the water level of the 2 gallon tank. When the tank level is high, a pump will come on and pump some water into the 1 gallon tank. When the tank level of the 2 gallon is low, a pump will come on and pump water back in from the 1 gallon tank. I want to tie those 2 into a switch, where I also have a continously running mode between the high and the low. If anybody has any suggestions or schematic ideas, I would appreciate it. Thanks | |

| i suggest you perhaps try using a microcontroller to let you control the delays and stuff with the floatswitches on inputs and some relays to control the pumps on the outputs... | |

| Use a latching relay setup. | |

Unless I'm missing something, why cant you mount the two tanks at elevations where the water level in both tanks is the same and then join the two tanks with a pipe.??
