Fluval Evo 5 Auto Top Off

[Caleb1266]

Just wondering if anyone has an Evo V not the 13.5, and has an ATO if so where do you put the water level sensor and what specific ATO do you use. The chambers are so small that it seems like there may not be room. Thanks!

I topped off manually for my Evo 13.5. The 5 gallons is so small I think an ATO is an overkill. Maybe get an upside down water bottle from Amazon if you don’t want to top off manually ?

Actually topping it off manually is easy I understand that, but with how easy it is to fluctuate parameters in 5 gallons is why I want an ATO

My 13.5 doesn’t even need top offs. If you leave the lid on it barely evaporates.

I really wouldn't attempt it on a tank that size.

If the ATO went nuts, there's not much room before the tank overflows.

As mentioned find how much is evaporating per day and then fill up a water bottle with the needed amount of RO and let it slowly drip into the tank by an airline tube with a knot at the end.

If you do want an auto top off use the JBJ nano and put the sensor in the third chamber, the one with the return pump.

Thanks for the product suggestion, I will check it out. There are only 2 chambers on the evo 5 though.
