so I'm not happy with the new Osmo 3 ATO. tank sounded loud today of waterfall. yes, the overflow box had the drain close so its all the suction. went out and did a few errands. when I returned and walked in the house it sounded even louder. looked in and the sump looked low. yup. the ATO sensor was flashing red and down about a gallon. no idea why. I wiped it off and unplugged/re plugged in and it filled up like it should. quiet again. but the Oslo 2 had an audible alarm. this new one you can barely see the red flash (inside the sump too).

I won the Osmaltor 3 nano, will be using it on my 20 gal. I sill use the gravity fed on my 40B. Its been flawless for almost 2 years now

How about you shut your face too. While I loathe California, even if it is the 2nd most beautiful state, it's not beyond me to show up at your door.

California + Ohio! ( Now I’m expecting to be instructed to shut my face, the door is open feel free to walk on through).

Sadly, no, I am not. However, if I were, I would pass on the coffee invitation and, instead, invite you for a ride to the desert to check out a newly discovered form of cactus.

Our one spot is our favorite fish, it is a schizophrenic nut job. I've always liked the Longnose, and the Flame, Hawkfish, too bad they don't like sharing the tank with other lifeforms.

It would be my first FoxFace and I like how they seem to have a bit more personality than usual. As far as Hawkfish I also wish I could keep a flame with a long nose but after debating between the two (i've had a flame in the past) I think the Longnose is a bit more interesting because of it's shape.

How long have you had it? I just got one a few weeks ago but so far so good. I do agree it's odd it doesn't have an audible alert, even my cheapo Duetto had one.

maybe 6 months? not sure exactly. I thought it was odd without the block controller the previous had and everything is all in that eye. it's quieter but I guess too quiet without audible alarms! I'm sure there is a way to link it through wifi to the phone through an app or something but I never read the instructions.

I don't think it has the app compatibility. I hope mine wont have issues it was a very pricey purchase for an ATO.
