Just received an apex, trident, and dos system. Setup went smoothly and all seems to be working well. Currently I am changing 30ish gallons a week with an installed pump in the tank pumping to a waste drain, and a separate pump located 60 ft away in another room pumping in the new water. I also have an ato located at the same location. I already have a power line, a 1/4" tube for ato fill, and a 1/2" tube for filling the tank with saltwater. Can the Neptune ATk be used remotely without running anymore cables/hoses, and can the dos be hooked up to a 1/2" tubing and pull water at that distance?

A remote ATK of that distance requires an additional FMM module connected by a long AquaBus cable:

For the DOS, I assume it would work if you have the proper 1/2" to 1/4" fitting, but I haven't tested it or heard of anyone else who has. Only one way to find out...

Thanks, Using your diagram, Can I not extend the pump wiring and hook to the fmm_atk?

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
