Thanks Mann we are getting close. May be ready to set it in the house next week end and start making some water and work on rock scape. But, my mother-in-law will be here all weekend so time may be an issue. Need to find someone in the hood willing to do a little heavy lifting.

Rich,
I'd like to see those screws changed out to brass or plastic, those would start to rust quick.
Good job on the bracket.

Lol, by the time I was done writing and posted it, you posted the response already, I'm a little slow

Rich, post 339 is missing something out front. The colored tiles are not being utilized to their fullest potential. The solution to the problem is (Ice + House) = :yes:

No I am using the bottom float as an on/off with a defer and the top as an emergency cut off. If I was doing this as a purely electrical circuit, I would configure it as a "Holding Circuit" but the apex is basically a mini-PLC (Programmable Logic Control) that if programmed properly eliminates the need for a holding circuit. It also allows for a more precise control as long as you allow enough lag to eliminate short cycling due to turbulence. Having said all that, I would love to see your programming code. Please post it here so all can see.

^^^^^ Yes, as Rich has spoken; post the program code here. If you can, post the links also where you read about the program code.

This is a great post that I pretty much copied to a T and has been working great for me.
