Great info Keith. I’m in the process of setting up my royal exclusive 300 and this provides some piece of mind. 👍

Does the GHL system allow for this float switch type method to be implemented? Thanks

[@ReefBum]

Dean I use this now, which works great with my GHL setup. www.amazon.com/AutoAQUA-Smart-Skimmer-Security/dp/B0BHFJ1Z16/ref=sr_1_2?tag=reefbum1-20

Where did you find the screw for this? Thx

[@ReefBum]

My local hardware store.....most should have it.

Nice video. What are your thoughts on plumbing the waste container to a outside drain? Should I be concerned about skimmer going crazy and sending a lot of water out?

[@ReefBum]

Personally I would not do that since you would be at risk for losing a lot of water if the skimmer went nuts.

[@theaspiringinvestor8988]

Do you still use this float switch idea? How has it worked out long term? And do you ever clean the skimmer lid?

[@ReefBum]

Yes, it has saved me several times over the long term. And I do clean the lid every week when I clean the cup.
