Need a new ATO

[Rob A]

No matter which one you choose make sure your ATO reservoir is never filled with more water than your system can hold without overflowing if something gets stuck. I only keep a day or two worth of water in mine that way if the pump gets stuck on the only thing could happen is the 10 dollar pump will burn up. I have heard too many desalination stories from stuck ATO pumps pumping 50 gallons into 100 gallon systems. I use the cheap 50 buck Amazon float system and keep 10-15 gallons in the reservoir

Yea will probably just do this, problem is I have a 25 gallon so will need a very small reservoir to not overfill, but see how it goes

Upgrades? Like what?

I know on the regular one they changed the material the sensor is made from. I believe the Nano received the same update. The pump has a strainer as well.

I’ve been running the original Osmolator 3 Nano on my 25g tank for over 2 years with zero issues.

ATO is a core piece of equipment and in my eyes part of the heart of your reef tank. Tunze #1 no other choices matter
