Auto Fleece Roller Setup Walkthrough for AIO Needed

[CayoHueso]

Is there someone that can walk me through how to properly setup my automatic fleece roller, specifically how to determine the correct height to place the ATO float switch in the rear chamber of my AIO?

I have a 20 Gallon IM Nuvo Fusion Pro 2 AIO. Currently I have the Tunze Nano ATO float switch located in the third and final chamber (return chamber) in the rear of the AIO. I just received my Reef n Rolll Automatic fleece roller. I've been searching and reading different threads with concerns and questions about how/where to properly place the ATO float switch to compensate for the back up of water in the first chamber (decrease of water level in the final/return chamber) due to the fleece clogging. From what I've read I should wait until the fleece is clogged and the the water level in the first chamber (where the fleece roller is located) rises to level where it will trigger the roller to advance, and then adjust the ATO float switch in the return chamber to the level where the water is at in the return chamber.

My question, besides confirming the above is correct, is how do I continue to top off properly while waiting for the fleece to clog enough to back up and fill the first chamber completely? In a larger system or system with a sump, as referenced in most of the posts I've found, this seems easier. In a 20 gallon AIO it seems a little more tricky. My system evaporates around half a gallon a day. That's a lot of evaporation and swing in salinity for a nano 20G system if I go a day or more without topping off. It takes my filter floss a few days to back up and get clogged. Also, I'm not sure how the two overflows affect this scenario. The Nuvo has an overflow on each side of the rear of the tank. Only one side will have the fleece roller, the other side has filter floss over the IM UV sterilizer.

If someone has experience doing this setup in a Nuvo or could walk me through this process, so I can avoid stressing out my tank while trying to figure this out, it would be greatly appreciated! TIA!

You ever figure this out? On a quest for answers with this same issue now and not finding much...

I don't have anything to add unfortunately. But here's a bump to keep it up top. I hope you get it sorted

You finally resolve the Problem? I recently bought this Roller for an Aquarium made by myself, so im trying to find how tall put the Roller

Never figured it out. I wouldn't recommend this product. If hadn't waited so long to try and set it up, I would have returned it.

I recorded a video on how to set this up in an AIO, or at least how I accomplished it. Feel free to ask if anything doesn’t make sense.

I just ran into same problem with the Reef N roll. First chamber fill up and never gets below the sensor, then my last chamber where the return is empties out. I have reduced the speed on all pumps, and the only thing that worked for the time being is lifting the roller basket a bit higher and return pump lowest setting (mighty jet) and so far it’s stable but not with the comfortable amount of water I usually keep in last chamber so I lowered my ATO to that new waterline. 10 min in so far so good. I’m about to go back to my sock, system worked flawless.
