Looking for recommendations for an ATO pump on a new Red Sea 500 G3 tank build. My water mixing room and old sump is in the basement where I ran a Genesis storm ATO system. The storm controlled not only the ATO but RO/DI reservoir refill. I am moving the sump location underneath the new display Tank upstairs but want to continue to use the system for reservoir management. I already have plumbing in place that connected the old sump to the old display and plan on using it as a conduit to run tubing down to the water mixing room for both ATO and auto water changes in the new tank. The new power strip and controller will be under the display Tank

I’m looking for an ATO pump that sits outside (or inside?) the new sump and can draw RODI water up from the reservoir. Looking for around 20 ft of head pressure to be safe. Thought about using a ecotech Versa…….i already plan on using a pair for auto water changes…..but that seems like overkill. Any other suggestions?
 
Bumping this for you!
 
Finding an out of the box solution with a pump might be hard. I think you're on the right track with the versa. I use mine as an ato and have it pull 45' from my reservoir in my unfinished area to my tank. Works great. Just keep an eye on your evaporation rate between summer and winter. Mine changes roughly half a gallon between the two seasons.
