Wondering if anyone has advice on a good a.t.o for tanks with black top bracing. The few on b.r.s I liked used magnets with optics on exterior of glass. I don't want to run my water level an half inch below the brace. Thus my conundrum.

I was looking at the hydros, and the tunze. Im running a 55 gallon, and only needing at the moment a 1/2 to 1/4 gallon per day. Ive sustained it manually for over a year, but our neighbors I used to trust to fill it when we are gone for weekends or vacation have moved.I am not sure the options other than XP Aqua Sumpless ATO, or you could build your own AIO for example the figi AIO's kit and then place the ATO in the return section. I have tried putting ATO on the display section and the amount of water needed to evaporate before the ATO kicks in is a lot. I tried the Hyrdos ATO in the display tank and as long as you use a slow enough pump you could place it high enough to keep the water above the brace however depending on tank size it might still be a lot of water that needs to evaporate before it kicks in.
I will have to somehow measure mine. I have a 36“by 18“ foot print. Totally open top and if I had to guess it may only pump in 30ml at a time.I am not sure the options other than XP Aqua Sumpless ATO, or you could build your own AIO for example the figi AIO's kit and then place the ATO in the return section.

I'll check it out, I have closet behind my tank where my brute can, and rodi systems running. I can rig some sort of shelving to hold an empty 10 gal tank and run the lines through the wall. Thanks!I think in that case the Hydro would work good for you, as you can put the alert level even with the very top of the tank. The pump that come with it however is not powerful enough to get to the top of a 55 that is on a stand it the reserve is on the floor, however if your ATO is not on the floor but about half way up I think it would work fine.
