And wich chamber you use for the hose the middle one?

I have a lifegard all in one and I have the sensor in the middle chamber and the hose in the return.

I used to have both in the return chamber and this is usually what I would recommend but I found it made it easier for me to remove the return pump for cleaning when the sensor was in the second chamber.

For the IM 10, you will want the sensor in with the return pump, say 1 inch below the baffle. The supply hose can go into any of the back chambers, but keep an air gap between the hose and water

I use the Autoaqua Smart AWC on my 8G nano invert q tank. Not only does it do ATO, but it can also do water changes... either automatically or manually. And it’s not significantly more expensive than a standalone ATO. I’ve had it for more than a year now and I’ve been quite happy with it.

Have used 4 different atos.

-first coralbox optical ato. Do not recommend, it failed no replacement parts offered.
-diy reef pi controller. works, need to like electronics and feel joy in building a controller(i did not lol)
-Innovative marine hydro ato, works as long as you dont let the sensors dry, if they do clean them before turning on expecting them to work.
-auto aqua awc, works great, preplan where you are putting;mixed sw, top off water, and old water(can be a drain to somewhere like a driveway)
