Can any controller do the following......

I just lost my gut on the recent disaster....flood with about $500 + worries it will happen again that I may just go through with selling it.

I want to know if there is a controller that can handle a float switch in the DT that if it drops below then it will turn off all my pumps. Obviously it will have something like a DC4/DC8 to plug in all my pumps but this will help in case there is a major leak. It's better to be lucky to save most of the then about half the water from the DT and sump.

I figure something like a rk elite or apexi could handle this but I want to make sure before making a HUGE investment. I have timers and I wasn't planning on going all out since I was only going to do pretty much softies. zoas/palys and here and there sps/lps.

If the answer is no then I will sell it and look for something like an AIO and only thing I really have to worry about is it breaking/cracking which haven't heard many stories as such.

You can just put the pumps on a float switch.

I figured everything out. What I will have to do is purchase an additional DJ Power Panel to cut the power to my pumps and the switch will go into the original DJ power panel so if I want to cut out all my pumps for cleaning/servicing, I can just kill the float and the pumps at the same time or kill them individually at the additional dj power panel!

OUTSTANDING. restored my faith. I can proceed with reefing!! Now as long as no cracks and no jinxing myself. I should be good to freaking go!!!

or you can a dc4hd, I/O breakout box and one of these http://www.homesecuritystore.com/p-...placement}&wm_g_cnt={ifsearch:0}{ifcontent:1}.

And just program the controller to shut off the pump through the dc4hd when the switch is triggered.

thanks r4l, i ended up ordering the setup above already. I think it should end up working fine.
