What are feelings on glass lids??

Forgot to mention....

I can't seem to find info on the dimensions of the actual pump, but if you give Roger at Tunze USA a call or email I'm sure he would get you the info very quickly.

Tunze USA (Roger) has some of the absolute best customer service in the industry.
 
Does anyone know the demension of the pump that comes with the Tunze ATO? I need to be able to put it in a 5 gallon water jug as this is what I use for my ATO reserve.

It would not fit in a 5 gallon water cooler jug with the small tops, but it is a smaller pump.
 
Some yes, but it is an insignificant amount. As a percentage of light, it might block 5-6%, where a thick glass top with some salt creep would be more.


Thanks, I just got a new nem and I have glass tops, gonna have to look into getting a screen top now so I gets all the light it possibly can
 
Since it doesnt fit in a 5 gallon water cooler jug, what would be the best option to use an a top off reserve? Just a bucket with a lid on it?

Can someone please tell me where to find the buy/sell used equipment forum? thanks!

Yo could cut the top off some? Get the exact dimensions first, but I am almost positive the pump is too large for that tiny opening.

There is a 50 post/90 day membership rule to see the selling forums. You made the 90 days ;), just another dozen meaningful posts and you will unlock them.

Bulk reef supply sells the mesh, all you need is to build a screen frame using cheap stuff found at lowes. Could i do it agin, I would search out black mesh, since the clear stand sout more. Could be me overthinking it though.
 
I have a tunze....Go to your local LFS or your local clud and get a 5 gallon water carry jug that everyone uses in the salt world. The pump fits in it nicely..

The ATO is great too....
 
I might be a little late, but I also Approve of the glass canopy Removal.I did a while back, talk about night and day.They were a Pain in the Butt to keep clean, I still have a center brace, that I hate.Next tank, all euro braced!

I also recommend a Tunze Osmolator!
 
I used to have a screen top....Loved it til i got a tiger jawfish....I'll be damned if he found a way out.....i rescued him from the floor and plopped him back in. From now on i'll use the glass top. BTW i have a lifereef overflow and a j tube return so it's hard to seal the complete top with screen.
