What Do I Need To Run This Setup?
- As with any overflow type setup, an Auto-Top-Off system (sold separately) is required (not optional) to maintain the water level inside the overflow box. We recommenced the AUTO Aqua Smart ATO or ATO system with similar sized sensor, to be installed inside the overflow box, to keep your display water level stable from evaporation. Evaporation causes water level inside your overflow box to drop quickly and will start gurgling/bubbling as the intake suck air in, the ATO prevented this from happening.
Works Perfect! thank you
I haven’t been able to install this just yet, but I have placed it on the tank along with the AC110 filter and the fit is great. I will definitely purchase from Oceanbox Designs again in the future. The only things I would like to see is possibly some cleaner corner joints, just a flush cut bit on a router to solve that. The other thing is possibly use long magnets instead of small ones so it’s easier to grab, and coat them in a softer material like a rubber or something to make contact with glass not so risky (they are strong magnets). Other then those small non-critical things this product is very well designed and built, materials are top notch.
