Where it belongs!!

Looks like a real nice muscle car near that garbage can ;)

I'm considering doing the same for my new 200G2. I can't keep the water stable with the Reefmat, every time I shutdown the return pump for feeding/maintenance, after I turn it back on the water level rise in the skimmer box into the emergency drain which lowers my water level in the return chamber and activate my ATO dropping a crazy amount of RO water. Currently I need to manually close my ATO for 30min, afterward the water level will "balance" itself back to normal.

All that to say, can you please let me know what part/size did you end up using. Your help would be greatly appreciated, this valve is currently the bane of my existence haha.
