I'm really struggling with this. I have an AIO 40G breeder, and I can't find success when I put the ATO sensor in the return chamber, only when placed in the main display does it work as expected.
The reason, I suspect, is due to the filter floss. As the floss clogs, flow slows down, but the return pump keeps pumping at the same speed, resulting in a continuous lowering of the return chamber water level. I change pads every 3 days, or so, but even a small slowdown in flow results in overfilling by the ATO.
Somehow, everything works as expected when I put the sensor in the main display.
Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
