ATO for Nuvo 40

[LetItReef]

Hello,

Any suggestions for an ATO that can fit one of the back chambers? I am thingking about smart ato but uncertain if this requires to have a sump.

Thanks!

I have never used the SMART ATO but usually the comments are good. You can just use a refill container under your tank. Hopefully others will chime in on that

Personally I have a Tunze 3155 on my IM38 running for a couple years. 5gl container under my tank with the pump in it and the sensors in the return pump section in the back of tank.

Smart ATO Micro is tiny and would work just fine. Probably the one I would go with for sure. Its what I use currently.

The Tunze 3152 nano would work nicely.

Thanks for the suggestions :)
Like I mentioned I do not have a sump, will one of these will work?

I don't have a sump or an aio. I just can't use my Vortech on Wave Pulse but rather I use Reefcrest so the float switch isn't bouncing up and down all the time. Being you plan on using it in the back compartment, either will work.

It is the same one I use on my IM Nuvo 40 with a 5 gal Trigger ATO container. I highly recommend one!

Smart doesn't need a sump. I have one on my 20L and LOVE it. I have the micro and the sensor is about the size of a penny. The full size version is about the size of a golf ball.

I just installed the tunze nano in the rear chamber of my Nuvo 20. For $99 you get a nice product with a good warranty. So far it works well and it's quiet.

Tunze nano by far the choice

Tunze 3152 at Amazon is $96. I think Im going with this is one.

I have the Tunze 3512 nano on my Nuvo 40 and I love it. The evaporation rate on this tank is unreal so you definitely need to put one on these nano tank.

I'm using the Smart ATO Micro in my 33 gallon all in one, for the past 6 months. So far It has worked out great. The refill tank is positioned under the tank and the pump seems to have no problem lifting the water.
