show me your topoff floats

I have a NC 6gal tank and I ordered a topoff unit from aquahub. I would like ideas on how other peeps have installed them in nanos. If you have pics that would be great.
thanks

Mine is in a sump, this may not help you as much for you NC... ?

I forgot to buy the socket for the 12V relay and ended up having to do some sketchy wiring with what I had laying around...



I took pieces of thin scrap acrylic, heated them over the stove and bent them into shape to hold my switches. One switch sits in the water and is used for topping up, the second switch is about 2" above the first as a back up in case of flooding. Basically how they have it on the aquahub website.
