Auto top off

[Kurt73]

I'm looking at getting a Tunze Osmolator Nano 3152 Auto Top Off unit for my 45 gal tank. Upon research they seem to not work with rimmed tanks. Is there away to make it work without fabricating some ugly bracket lol?

Can I put the outside magnet up against the rim and inside unit at the top where magnet only cover roughly 80-85% of the inside unit?

I like the magnet idea. My ATO came with a piece to hold the tubing and you can use it on rimmed and rimless tanks.

You can hit up @Shirak & see if he still makes/sells the adapter for Tunze ATO's. As seen here in this thread.

I am sure there are others who have a DIY printed solution.

I have a rimmed 33 long Aqueon tank as a sump. I notched out the plastic so that my ATO float fit nicely.

Looking at the product on BRS, it appears to have a black plastic "C" clamp which fits over the top. Notching the plastic would help you to mount it cleanly to the edge.

Actually I just bought that from him on Esty. Definitely looks like it will work a lot better then trimming the plastic on the tank rim like I read some did. Thank you for the heads up though

I was trying to avoid trimming so I went with that bracket. If that doesn't work I will.look into the c clamp from brs or teim the plastic. Thanks

I believe the C-clamp is part of the package.
