Gravity fed ato troubleshooting

[chapo reef]

Really need help understanding why this isn't working - regardless of the way I cut the tubes it still continues to fill the bowl (testing before putting it on my set up)

any advice would be appreciated

Is it possible that you don't have a good seal for everything above the water line?

It could be... I tested the seal from the adapter to the bottle and it was good I had to squeeze the bottle very hard to get one drop to leak out, when screwed in to the second adapter (the box part) its the same story.. could that little bit of air be whats causing the issue?

Also should I try a more rigged bottle? This one basically starts becoming a pancake when it pushes water out... I wonder if that could contribute to it too?

Hi all, I have a question about my ATO. It's gravity fed through the Octo slim flow. I got it working again and it only fills the chamber when the ball float is in a 45 degree angle. It cuts off when the float is straight down???? Being that it is in the chamber in front of the return pump, the ball float stays at a 45 degree angle most if not all the time. Is this supposed to be the correct way?
