There is an AIO and a EXT version for the 40L. You can find it on IM’s website.Looks good. I’m confused though, I thought the IM 40L was an AIO tank. This one looks larger, and obviously you have a sump.
Yikes. What was involved in the short qt process?
Any idea what’s in that? Never used it before
Aww Man! ATO Siphon.
Woke up yesterday morning to a sump filled with water and Salinity drop to 1.022. I have never thought about ATO siphon. I have used the same ATO setup on my previous tank but never experienced this. " I started the Google Search ATO Siphon"
Glad I was home during this event.
- Why am I seeing this problem? After researching, it seems like the water level of my ATO reservoir is at a higher level than where the water exit into the sump.
- Why did I not see it before? Most likely the height of the SUMP on my previous 425XL was at a higher level than the ATO reservoir.
- How to fix this?
- Lower the ATO reservoir or raise the the ATO output into the sump if possible.
- Siphon Breaker - My Duetto ATO has a siphon breaker, but my Tunze does not. May implement some sort of siphon breaker.
It is what happens hereI often zip tie the top off feed to some plumbing up higher. Like Randy said you can’t use a pvc or similar to guide the stream where you want it from there
I fasten a 1/2” acrylic tube somewhere in the stand or sump that’s above the level of the ato reservoir level and fasten the end of the ato output there.
The 1/2" acrylic tube is bigger than the 1/4" standard ATO tubing. This would increase the height of the output, and the gap in size would break the suction. I am imagining how to attach the ATO output tube to the 1/2" acrylic tube. It would most likely be inside the tube, how would you connect this. Do you have an image to share?
thanks!
