Does this have the ability to manually schedule top-offs, possibly in addition to the sensor? This because I'm using Kalk in the top off water. The return chamber on the Reefer 350 is 25x25 cm I believe, and the height between the sensors on the ATO+ is 3 mm, so that's about 200 ml of...
Hello, I am trying to think of a way to provide another failsafe for my ATO on my tanks and the only idea I could think of is to use a float switch wired inline with the pump wiring. Therefore, if the float switch is activated, the ato pump will not be able to pump water into the tank because...
I’ve finally had it with my current optical sensor ATO. It decided to recalibrate itself a few minutes ago and filled itself all the way up to the high water level sensor instead of its normal low water level sensor. This just dropped my salinity from 35.2 PPT to 34.5 PPT in a matter of minutes…...
I want to add this ATO to my sump but I don't think the supplied tubing is going to be quite long enough. I need to go roughly 12' and the head height is only about 3'. Do you think I could add roughly 3 more feet to this system without having to use a larger pump?
Everything here is very clean. Used sensors were soaked in citric acid and cleaned.

So I found this at petsmart and is closer than LFS an hour away to get water. I’ve been using to supply my ATO for about a month and I notice a bacterial bloom and possible infection in fish. Is this ok to be using in place of RODI water.
I got this ATO system off Amazon and it seems like a common enough one with decent reviews (and a lot of the exact same just under different brand names). I have it hooked up from a reservoir to my sump and got the optic sensor to right where I needed it… and then it just fills arbitrarily...

Sites like Kickstarter and Indigogo are the public domains TV version of Shark Tank. Numerous products are pitched for public buy-in and once in a blue moon you will see an aquarists related item.
Have you got anything worthwhile from these sites for your hobby?
Hello, I've just setup my red sea desktop ATO however i dont think it's working right. I believe the water level in the return pump section of the tank (where the ATO bulb is) is too low causing the ATO to keep filling up the tank too much. The other section of the filtration chamber just fills...
Tunze Osmolator 3155 Auto Top Off - almost all components completely new
The optical sensor on my own unit failed after ~1 month of use right before a vacation, so I purchased a second unit, nabbed the 5017 controlled from the new box and later had the failed controller refurbished by Tunze...

When I get my control cabinet set up next to the aquarium I want to add switch control for some of the equipment. Specifically, when I'm out of the office I want an easy way for my coworkers to kill power to the ATO if it starts beeping. I'm considering two different directions to control...
Hi everyone.
I am having ALOT of trouble finding out which Kamoer Dosing Pump model I should use.
Basically, I am trying to use this dosing pump as an ATO. The tank is in my office and setting up an ATO for a pico reef tank is entirely redundant (size/space limitations in the tank and outside...

Hello everyone, first time poster. So I’m about a week in cycling my tank and I’m looking to add an ATO. I like the idea of using a float valve. However I don’t have a sump, and have an AIO 40gallon tank. Is it possible to have a float ATO that is not gravity fed? Like a fresh water reservoir...

Ive seen similar threads, but most are outdated. Least probable to flood and then accuracy in that order.
