OK, so my main question is How do you keep your return section at a constant level?
I have just set up an ato with a Reef keeper..however, I am finding that because my return seems to be ever changing I am constantly tweaking the ball valve to keep things at the right level...
I just almost had an overflow in my DT.
basically whats going on is it seems like every time I turn my return pump of and then plug it back in..I have to adjust the ball valve again to get it all the level it was before..
I do have the level marked on the Sump in the return section..I have it marked at two levels..when the pump is off and when the pump is running..and I have the ATO sensor set at the level for when the pump is running...
but it is not stay constant...
I have the DIY overflow made from pvc(I don't need to be beaten up on this)..it has been working just fine no issues at all..until I added the ATO..
I am also wondering if I increased my flow from my dt into my sump would that help the variation??
As always your opinions are always welcome and needed.. Thank you
