I have an aquaponics greenhouse, with a 1200L tank for fishes. As water evaporates, I have to frequently put water back in the tank. 

So I bought an automatic water valve on AliStuff, for less that 5€. The principle is the same as with a toilet flush mechanism : a floater goes up with the water, and when the right height is reached, the valve closes. 

The side bracket is screwed to the side of the tank (wood panels, not directly in the plastic lining :) ). The valve support is attached to the bracket using zip ties, so that the level can be set precisely without having to reprint anything. Multiple holes on both objects allow for a fine height adjustment.

Hose is attached to the green quick lock, water goes out of the black one. The flow rate of the valve isn't mind blowing, but hey, it's fire and forget, so who cares :)
