RO Question
I am setting up a reef tank and I want to run my RO water directly to my sump to replace evaporation water. My sump has a built in overflow to eliminate any water damage from the water not shutting off. Was just wondering what is the best way to do this?

I've run my ro water right to my sump with a float valve for 4 years now with no problems. I don't keep any critters in the area with the float, and I also have a overflow setup to prevent flooding. I replaced my float valve a couple of months ago for preventive mantainance, there was no wear and tear at all. It could have lasted 4 more years. this is a safe setup if you do it right.
