Fluval Evo ATO sensor location

[Atlan]

Hey Reefers,

I have a fluval evo (13.5G) with the side chamber / sump thing. I currently have my ATO sensor in the main tank, however I'm noticing that the chamber 3 seems to drop well before the main tank does, as such my ATO does not run for a few days, and then drops 200-300ml all at once.

I'm thinking of moving my sensor and tube to chamber 3, however I'm concerned that it'll over fill the tank (If for example the return hole becomes blocked.

Does anyone have any thoughts / experience of where to put the sensor.

In most tanks with a return pump, the chamber the pump is in, is the first chamber to lose water. Tank water level is set by the overflow teeth height

Right hand chamber with your return pump.

You can see on this thread where the ATO sensors are positioned. (Its an EVO V but same concept)

I’d love to see how you mod the 606 to fit in the Evo 5. I tried and failed miserably. Lol. It fit just fine with a very slight Dremel trim and removed front plate.
