Hi All, I am trying to get my tank more automated (a red sea reefer 350) and I could use some advise. My tank is located in my basement. I was able to recently move my RODI to the other side of the basement (not near the tank) and plan to set up an ATO there and also a mixing station for auto water changes. I ran 3 RO lines from where the RO unit is located, my thought was to have one for ATO, one for fresh Salt water, and one for waste water. I was thinking to use a DOS mounted near my tank to handle the auto water changes. I am not sure what to do for ATO. I can't use my Tunze ATO becuase I dont want to have to run wires all the way to that room where the RO as it is not easiy to do. Can I set up a ATO system on a dosing pump? This way the dosing pump can me loacted near the tank and maybe I would have a top off sensor or something that can tell the doser when to turn on and off to pull what to the tank?? If so, is there any recommended system for this? Just use a Apex breakout box and have a sensor turn on the outlet with the doser set to always on when water is needed? I also what there to be multiple back up systems so in case of failures that I don't end up with a mess on the floor.
Thanks in advance for any advise!!
