RedSea ReefATO+ manual scheduling

[iaa12]

Does this have the ability to manually schedule top-offs, possibly in addition to the sensor? This because I'm using Kalk in the top off water. The return chamber on the Reefer 350 is 25x25 cm I believe, and the height between the sensors on the ATO+ is 3 mm, so that's about 200 ml of evaporation to trigger a top off. I'm evaporating 1600 ml a day, so it would trigger 8 times a day , or just about every 3 hours. What I'd like to do is schedule a small top off, say every 30 minutes, and then the sensor can top off in addition if it falls below, or maybe skip a manual top off or two if it gets too high. I have a Hydor top off unit currently and I managed to increase the frequency of top offs by sticking 10x500 ml bottles of Aquafina in the return chamber in order to reduce the overall chamber volume - and I could certainly keep going with that - but it would be nice to have a more automated solution.

I don't have the Red Sea ATO, but even my Neptune doesn't have that ability - so I'm thinking the answer is no.

No it doesn’t. But you can manually fill it with the app. Most resources I’ve read say the kalk will ruin the ato pump and to use a dosing pump instead at a constant slow drip.
