Smart Ato on larger systems????

MapleReef · Nov 8, 2017

Hey everyone, had a quick question.

I have a smart Ato on my fluval edge system and I love it.

Was wondering if anyone is using this Ato on a larger system? I’m in the process of setting up a 80 gallon system with 30 gallon sump, and would like to run this Ato. I just really love it’s small form factor.

Thoughts?

Looks like the pump can cover 6.5ft of head pressure, so whether that works or not will depend upon your ATO location relative to your tank (remembering that bends can reduce this distance). It's max flow rate is 74GPH; you're not going to see anywhere near this from evaporation, so that's not an issue.
The magnet on the sensor is limited to 1/2" thick walls, but I don't suspect your 80gal system would have more than that anyways.

Should work, I'd think.
