Reefmat causing inacurate ATO

[Schulks]

This does not make sense. If the filter roller backs up water the ato will trigger and overfill. Then in an hour the reefmat rolls. Now the water that was backed up is back in the sump and your water level is high. That water will then evaporate back out and you are at your original salinity. This would just repeat over and over.
I think something else is causing your salinity change.

a combination of more points was wrong , bottom valve being inacurate the biggesst one

I am unsure what you mean but I also don't know how red sea tanks work. I have no clue what the bottom valve is or does.

also total water volume was too less in my system , upping that helped a lot

drain valve is a better name , also i can tell that i wont buy a red sea again xd

I agree, I avoid red sea tanks. I sure do like the filter roller though.

Also having this issue - ironically with a Red Sea 500 Reefmat and a Red Sea ATO - you'd figure they'd talk to one another (both internet connected), but they don't. If you leave it on the ATO, you end up adding waaay too much water due to the Reefmat.

The reefmat should not impact salinity. This sounds like an issue with the overflow or the pump is changing speed?

The whole redsea system is just very prone to detrietus. From overflow to bottomvalve , poorly design for one of the biggest manufacturing in reef tanks .

this guy didn't say it was a red sea system. He was blaming the ATO and reefmat which will not impact salinity unless something is very wrong with the setup.
