Just got my atk and I'm setting it up... question? Can the magnet be under water ? On my reefer 250 won't fit putting the magnet on the side, is going to have to go side ways same way as the return pump, but it must go on the glass divider so I was wondering if it can go under water but didn't want to mess up water or the product.

Yes it's fully submersible on both sides

I know this is an old thread, but I have a question...
Are the optical sensor signals accessible from the Apex. What I mean by this is can you use those signals to turn on/off other devices? Where I'm going with this is that I'm wondering if I could have a second reservoir with saturated kalkwasser and a second pump in addition to my primary ATO reservoir/pump. So for instance, top off from the primary ATO during the day and then use kalkwasser at night to maintain pH better. I know this would take some custom programming, but if the optical sensor signals are available to the Apex it should be do-able. It would also make it possible to use kalkwasser when pH was low and RODI when pH is high... just considering the possibilities... Thanks!

absolutely you can use them to turn off other devices. For example, I turn off my ATO pump when the sensor in my RODI reservoir gets low.

I think you answered my question, but I was specifically referring to the optical sensors in the ATK kit, not an additional one you add to the RODI reservoir. Like I said, I'm thinking about having two ATO reservoirs... one with kalkwasser and one without.

absolutely, they are still named and referenceable in any outlet/alarm code you want to use them in.

It seems pretty strong to me, but I don't know about that particular trough. Do you have an apex already? the magnet seems very similar to the one in the MPR probe holder.
