Hey all,
I've had my ApexEl for a while now and it's worked well on my nano. However, I am building a 93 cube and need some help with a DIY ATO.

I have an IceCap ATO that has two optical sensors. I plan to cut the ends off the optical sensors and wire them to the Break Out Box but I don't know where they would go. I have an Avast Marine peristaltic pump that I want to use to move water from my storage reservoir to my sump.

I'm also not sure what coding I would need to initiate and stop the ATO process. I have read the manual, perused the Neptune threads and am stumped.

Can someone who has done something similar help me with this project?
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before

  • Something else (see my comments in the thread)
