Setting Up JBJ ATO parts list

[Kbra]

Ok so im placing an order for a JBJ ATO today and i wanna figure out everything i will need to make it work in my sump. From what ive heard the only thing extra you need to buy is a pump and tubing obviously. Am i missing anything and any recomendations of pumps? Ive been told Aqua Lifter or Rio 400...

I would go with a larger pump IMO I have the aqualifter and it is pretty slow. I have a lot of fans and have a lot of evaporation so that may be why

ok so the RIO might be better then cause i do have a good amount of evap

 

[Rortreefer]

ya for sure! But then also make sure you have a large enough RO Reserve! Mine is WAY to small and run into that problem a lot!

im planning on a 5gal jug for mine on a 80gal

im running a aqua lifter i think its the 20 and use a 5 gallon jug . i ve got 100 gallon use about 5 or so gallons of top off a week and it works just fine but if you plan on having a lot more evap then definatly ned a big pump and larger ro reserve
