Hi,
I use 12 volt timers that I bought from Alternative Energy Engineering.
They can be found at http://www.alt-energy.com or 800-777-6609.

Hi=20
12 volt timers are used by the alarm industry and very reasonable...

Thanks for the address. I ordered a high/low float and relay from them
today. It sounds like what I was looking for. Thanks again.

Hi Jason,
Welcome to the list.
I'm going to throw something out to you. I know the pro's on the list are
getting tired of hearing me say this. But, have you considered breeding and
growing your own Tilapia? Seems like everytime someone has a problem with
Tilapia (illness, disease, etc), almost 100% of the time, it is from fish
that have been bought. (I am certainly not knocking any of the fine Tilapia
breeders out there. So, don't come after me with "guns smoking".)
I have been in the Tilapia breeding/raising business for 6 months now. (I
know guys...I'm a rookie...) The only fish that I have lost (& I have lost
hundreds) have been due to my own inattention and inexperience. All of the
fish that I have lost have been in the 10-gal tanks which is the
intermediate stage before going into the 2,000 gal system. This is when they
are the most crowded, most succeptable to ammonia/nitrite poisoning. You
have to watch them like a hawk.
I have not lost a single fish that has made it into my system.
Seems like if they are bred from the same stock (I have 4 male and 6 female
breeders.I plan to expand this shortly to 6 male and 9 female.) they develop
a good immunity because they are in the same environment from eggs to
adulthood.
Just a thought...something to think about. But, if you do decide to go this
route, be prepared. It is a lot of work to keep the tanks clean. It is a
true "labor of love", but these guys will produce thousands of babies.
Take care.........Steve
