I have a Reef Octo Varios 6 Return Pump and an Apex A2. The float switch I have has 2 floats, one is connected to the Return pump and if that drops it turns the pump off and it is working correctly. I would like to hook the cable from the other float to my Apex to control one of the outlets on my EB 832 to turn on and off where my ATO pump is plugged in. Do I get a breakout box to accomplish this? Is there a different way to do this? I am pretty new to the Apex

So do you have a FMM box from Neptune? My ato runs through that to the Apex. I'm curious about the float on the return pump?
I do not have an FMM, the only module I have is a WXM for the MP 10 and MP40
So how do you have the return pump float connected to the Apex?
The float is not connected to the Apex for the return pump it goes directly to the return pump controller, I am assuming it came with the pump. The return pump is plugged in to the EB 832 for feed cycles. I just want to connect the 2nd side of the float valve to the Apex to control the ATO pump
Have you gone on the Neptune forums? I just googled and found the following:

Is this one cable with two floats or two separate cables?
