ATO sensor on rimmed tank

You need to have somebody 3D print the following file.

It's a ATO tube and sensor holder for a rimmed tank. I have one on a rimmed 40b tank and it has worked great for the past 4+ years. I had fishofhex print one for me back in April of 2022 and it's held up just fine since then. Still using it now.

Thank you! I'd need two because I have ATO/AWC (high & low level sensors) but these would work for me.

Tunze makes an "offset magnet" that lets the sensor sit higher (if you're using a Tunze ATO).
*never felt the need to try it though

How much head pressure/ reservoir water surface height above the valve do you have on this?

This is connected directly to my 40 gallon RODI storage reservoir. It sits about 12 inches higher than the float.

Thank you! Not using Tunze, but may work anyway! I will look into it.

I am also thinking of something like that - thanks! And good luck - keep us posted
