Looking for a IR waterlevel sensor

Hello,

I am working on a reeftank system, which should be mainly controlled by arduino.

By now I am using a system which is reading the waterlevel with two sensors:
a floating sensor which is activating an alarm when the waterlevel gets to high
a IR sensor which triggers a pump to fill up the tank with fresh water.

You can see a picture of both sensor by checking this link:

Do you know how the optical sensor is called or where to get these?

Many thanks in advance
