Osmolator in a Nano Cube?

[sethdunne]

Just wondering if this ATO set up will fit/work in my 12gal Nanocube DX. Thanks. I plan on putting the sensors in the middle rear chamber.

It will work but you will likely need to add a valve to restrict the pump output. The osmolator is set to run for 10 seconds over full. This amounts to about 1 additional cup being added. This is done to prevent rapid on and off cycling and it can be too much on a very small tank. A small drip irrigation tubing valve is all you need.

Thanks and could you please explain a small drip irrigation tubing valve?

If you go to Lowes or Home Depot and look where they sell drip irrigation they make small valves for the small drip irrigation tubing, they usually come in assortment. You can also buy such a valve as a Two Little Fishies Micro Valve.
