How do you fasten your JBJ ATO float sensors in your NC28?

Hello All,

The included linkable bracket fits on the separator between the center overflow and side return compartment (see picture below). I was wondering if the flow of the water overflowing from the center compartment would affect the float sensor?

Where are others placing their ATO float sensors in their NC28s? Please post pictures if possible.

Thank you. -Trey

I have a NC12g and mine is in the last chamber...there is a piece of eggcrate and plastic needle point grid that is against that last wall which keeps the chaeto in the 2nd chamber and it's a bit higher then the factory wall keeping the floats a bit higher.

Thank you for the response Eklikewhoa. We were considering positioning the included linkable bracket in between the overflow sections like the picture above. The tank is empty while we are configuring our mods. So we are not sure, but were wondering if once the pumps were pushing ~266GPH and ~Â½ of that was overflowing onto the float switches if it would push the float down? Any experience anyone?

We may end up getting the included linkable bracket warm with a hair dryer or something and bending the clip on top wide enough to fit over edge of the tank. Still debating ideas.

Anyone else with insights to share about how you fasten your JBJ ATO float sensors in your NC28?

Thank you. -Trey
