Tunze Osmolator 3155

[Skibi]

So I just purchased a Tunze Osmolator 3155 been working pretty good so far but having trouble keeping the pump upright. It seems to always want to kick over on its side and when the water in the resivoir gets low it draws air in. Is there any stand or some way to get it from wanting to do this? I’ve tried searching around but have seen nothing so far.

You could always find one of those suction cups with the clip on the end and us that to hold it up. Better yet, you could also get yourself a Neptune FMM module with an optical sensor to alert you when the water level is say at 2 gallons so you can refill the ATO. It's gonna be a pain to try to remember to check the ATO to see when you need to fill the container. I love having an optical sensor in mine so I can just forget about checking it and get the alert to add water.

@pelphrey made a video about a product that prevents this. Maybe he can drop in and give an update.

Here is the video.

Get 2 of those suction cups that hold airline tubing. Get a piece of rigid airline tubing and run it between them tie wrap the pump to the tubing. You could do this with suction cups that hold heaters and a piece of round acrylic stock.

Man great ideas! Going to look through my extra fish stuff I think I have some of those suction cups from maxi jet pumps I can prob zip tie it to it. Thanks for the ideas everyone!
