Got in contact with Logan from reefbreeders, he had me try the pump directly hooked to power, it was a no-pumper. Waiting to hear back from him.

He he. No-pumper.

Did you try taking off the cover and spinning the turbine by hand?

Yes, did this last night. All parts looked perfect, no obvious reason to be dead.

And it turned? Weird. Sometimes I'll plug it in and give it a little nudge and see if it kick starts but with a brand new, under warranty I probably wouldn't. I dunno.

I made Subway bread. And I can't even have any but it looks amazing and smells so messing good OMG.

I finally heard back from Logan from reefbreeders, and he's sending a new pump for the ATO. Should be here on Thurs. Besides the pump fumble, I have high hopes for this ATO. I want it to work so bad. No controller to mount, no beeps, small pump, I even prefer the orientation of the power plug vs the tunze one. The tunze was horizontal so it blocked the neighboring outlet. It was slightly annoying. And the pump was gigantic. And loud. And it overfilled. And I hated it.

If this pump works and it's a success, then I'm ordering 4 more, 3 for tanks and one for a NIB spare.

Definitely going to call the lawnmower blenny a gonner. Haven't seen it in weeks. I know a cryptic fella, but I've been stalking the tank at all hours with a flashlight and there's no sign.

Honestly, I've had several blennies. Non were cryptic, all were extreme pigs.

Sad to think he was probably sick and passed

Bummer, I’ve had some just outright disappear.

Really? Yeah mine mostly hid from day one, but only saw him for 2 weeks. Was a large fat belly specimen so I thought he'd make it.

I even had a midas blenny, dropped in tank, instintly ate. Eventually jumped out to his death.

Lawnmowers like swimming in Overflows but they also frequently come in sick and end up dying within a month.

Sounds like the old capturing method is going on strong. I hate thinking about poor capture methods.

My Molly Miller I thought was consumed immediately, 2 months later showed up. Don't give up all hope.

Well I'm not replacing with another, so if he turns up there's no fight.

Have been looking for a foxface, but no dice.

Currently printing a tube holder for both my AFR dosing and the ATO line. Current files available were for one size tubing and either didn't fit my rimmed tank or were to big/bulky for my needs.

I found a simple design on thingiverse and used it to base my own version with the sizes I needed. Hopefully I measured properly.

Send me measurements next time if I'm available and I'll mock up a quick and dirty STL file for you? I've got two in my designs.

The one I designed works, got it finished and installed, both the hole sizes were perfect and the fitment on the tank is snug like a hug.
