Hello...I plan on purchasing a Tunze 3152 Nano Osmolator for a 29 gallon BioCube and had a configuration question. From what I've read, the ATO sensor should be mounted in the 3rd chamber of the cube, should the water return line then be pointed into the actual main tank itself or pointed into the 3rd chamber as well? I'm having a hard time understanding the relationship between the BioCube main display and the 3 chambers in the back. How exactly do they work? Thanks...
 
Try searching YouTube for a video of the tank. That might explain it. On another note, I was told the full size tunze is well worth the price difference compared to the nano. Though you would need to check measurements to verify everything will fit first.
 
To simplify, keep all the pumps running and with a small hose start taking water out. The chamber with the dropping water leve lis where you want the osmolator. I believe that would be where the return pump is placed.
