Got a Hydor smart level

[Areeflover]

So guys I just picked up a hydor smart level and I'm curious where Is the best place to put my sensor in the last chamber of my sump where the water level drops quickly. Or I have the nuvo 25 lagoon ext and in the back where the water drains into before going into the plumbing ?

You'll want the sensor where the return pump is. That's where the water level is going to fluctuate

Perfect that's where I have it.. in the manual it says it has to be like 4 feet above the fresh water which makes no sense to me

Test it out for awhile..... Mine didn't work out of the box, and I had to return it.

They want it above your water reservoir to prevent a siphon of freshwater to your tank

Okay yeah I get that. I have the line higher up and it spills into the sump so I think I have that covered

It's working now. I just want it to work for the weekend I'm going to reefapalooza
