Ok I need help here. I bought the nano but I am not sure if it is going to work.
I have the Red Sea max E - 170. This tank has its sump at the back of the tank. The circulating pump keeps the main tank at the maximum level even if the water level drops significantly.
The sump is approximately 4”x 10.5”. I just realized that this ATO only has a float travel of a few mm. That itself will allow the ATO to work but I fear it would be cycling a lot. I go through about 1/2 gal of water a day due to evaporation.
Another thing I am concerned about. Even on the shortes timed run, I think it would overfill.
Am I right on this ? Can this ATO be used in a sump instead of the main tank ?
