Hi, I want an auto top off kit for my marine tank however cannot afford the ones in the shop so I've set about building my own...
The idea is to have coloured LEDS indicating status, so green for powered, amber for topping up and red for manually switched off or a switch out (is it possible?)
Here is the plan, I'm OK with basic electrical - basically, I'm looking to run a 12vDC around the 2 switches into a relay which will activate a mains powered Eheim 300 Compact Pump, I want to leave it switched on all the time so it gets little and often. I also want a switch to deactivate the level switches for water changes so I've incorporated one it
This is the rough plan, I've ordered all the parts and will do a comprehensive "how to"
**broken link removed**
So for all the sparkies out there, can you help on how to get the LED's to correspond to the requested state?
Many thanks
