Dive Deeper: Info & Tips for Auto Top Off Systems

An automatic top off system is a vital tool for any reef tank enthusiast, ensuring that your tank's water levels remain stable even as evaporation occurs. This stability is key to maintaining proper salinity levels, which is essential for the health of your marine life.

  • When selecting an auto top off system, consider the size of your tank and the evaporation rate. Larger tanks or tanks with high evaporation rates may require a more robust system, such as the ATK V2 Auto Top Off Kit by Neptune Systems that is fully controllable and provides insightful data into your tank’s evaporation rate.
  • For nano tanks, choose a compact system like the Osmolator Nano 3152 Auto Top Off by Tunze, which is designed specifically to meet the needs of smaller setups.
  • Ensure your auto top off pump is placed in a location where it can accurately monitor water levels. Most systems use sensors to detect when water levels drop, triggering the pump to add more water automatically.

Expert Advice

  • Choosing the Right Auto Top Off System: The right auto top off system depends on your tank size and the complexity of your setup. Systems like the HYDROS Triple Optical ATO Kit offer advanced features with multiple sensors for greater accuracy, while simpler systems may be sufficient for smaller tanks.
  • Installation Tips: Install your auto top off pump in your sump or directly into your reservoir. Make sure the sensor is placed at the correct water level to ensure the system activates at the right time.
  • Maintenance Advice: Regularly check your auto top off system to ensure it’s functioning correctly. Clean the sensors and pumps as needed to prevent algae buildup or debris from affecting performance.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

  • Installing Your Auto Top Off System: To install your automatic top off system, follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Typically, the sensor should be placed in the tank or sump at the desired water level, with the pump connected to a reservoir of freshwater.
  • Routine Maintenance: Keep your auto top off system in optimal condition by cleaning the sensors and pump regularly. This prevents malfunctions and ensures that your system operates smoothly.
  • Optimizing Performance: Ensure your auto top off reservoir is always filled with fresh, purified water. This helps maintain the salinity balance in your reef tank and prevents fluctuations that could harm your marine life.
