Can someone provide me with which controller allows me to monitor the floor in the event that there is water spilling from the tank onto the floor?

This what I plan to use on my display. It's just a moisture sensor that operates on no/nc so it should work the same as a float switch in the switch adapter on a reef keeper. I personally will get the sl2 and use the extra switch ports for this. I will control the return pump on this port.

We use leak frogs... Cheap and work well.

Like Mike and Kristy, we use leak frogs or similar items. About $5 each. They work if someone is home.

Thanks all. I am going to go with the apex since it sends alerts via SMS and email. At the same time, my boss is buying one to put in our old datacenter since it tends to flood. It was the cheapest solution since all others cost upwards of $1500 each.
