Can some one help me with my apex ATO. Recently set up my tank and the ATO keeps over flowing my tank. It’s happened 4 times in a row now, and I cannot figure it out for the life of me.

I assume you. Have 2 sensors -m_ato and
Mato_h? First, have you verified both sensors are working properly?
the way you have it set, the ato will kick on when the water level falls below the m_ato sensor and not turn off until it’s above the mato_h sensor. You should have a ‘if m_ato closed then off’ statement.
You can also have a ‘when on > 10 then off’ statement that will turn it off if it’s been on for 10 min continuously.

You are not using the standard ATK programming. Using your sensor names, here is what would be standard if you went through the ATK Setup Task in Fusion:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If M_ATO OPEN Then ON
If MAto_H CLOSED Then OFF
When On > 005:00 Then OFF
Defer 000:10 Then ON
Defer 000:04 Then OFF
Min Time 060:00 Then OFF

Please read my ATK Tutorial to ensure you set it up properly, understand how it's designed to work, what each line of programming does, and a list of troubleshooting steps:
