Ato with apex suggestions

[reefereef]

I need to buy a ato setup and will be controlling it with my apex. I plan to get a I/o Breakout box and a few floats switches and place them in the sump. The top off container is about 30' sway in my garage which is where either the pump will go or if a pump like the spectrapure topoff pump can suck the water from the sump I will place it there. Here's the tricky part.the plumbing will be ran in my attic so it will have about 10' to travel vertically. If there is a better pump to use then that wouldn't be great as I don't really need everything in there spectrapure ultra water level kit.

Thanks

Only one switch, but since it is controllable through the Apex you could limit it's on time or add a second float switch to your ATO reservoir or sump and wire it to your breakout box as a backup.

You can just use a LMIII remote pump, all you would need is an extra wall 12v adapter to run it. Then go to radioshack and get the appropriate female adapter so you dont have to cut the LM cord. Bulkreefsupply top off doser may be able to go against that head, I know the LMIII's can do up to 50' up and draw from 20 or 30 feet below.

Pretty sure the BulkReefSupply 50ML Dosing pump would handle that no problem. Peristaltic pumps in general are not really affected by head pressure.

I'd give Bulk Reef Supply a call and ask them.
