Top Off help

[warforged]

I am wanting to take an old 10 gallon tank I have sitting around and making it a reservoir of RO/DI Top off for my tank.

What parts do I need to buy to set it up to trigger it to pump water into my main tank appropriately without causing a spill over?

Can I find what I need at Lowes?

Ok brand name Tsunami auto top off gotcha....I will look into this.

If others here who paid attention in Shop at school know of some ideas using things from Plumbing supply in Lowes do tell .

There is also this ATO system. If i was going to get one i have heard good things about this and it has two sensors. I don't know about you but auto top offs kind of scare me. Its a bit more expensive but i think it is worth it with the chance of overflowing your tank.
