Extream Long distance ATO and water changes

[Steven Rish]

Could you put an ATO container under the tank? Then just use a return pump for that long distance to fill the ATO and do your water changes

I currently have a 20gal ATO tank behind the display tank. But I have to fill it once a week. I currently use a 150’ clear 3/4 hose to fill this. Problem is most of my maintenance has to be done before or after work. I’m just trying to lessen my work.

What does stepping the tubing do? Less head pressure?

Yep. Think about the difference between blowing through a coffee stirrer and a regular straw.
