Is your ATO water level higher than your sump? If it is, there is chance it is syphoning. I drilled a small hole in the tubing (near the inside top of ATO, with hole pointing down), this acts as syphon break when the pump shut off.
I have my ato in a 5g water jug on the floor and it pumps up into my tank

It pumps up into the DT directly or into the sump?

I see. Where do you put the osmolator nano sensor? And when your tank water level is higher....is it way over the float sensor? If it is, then the sensor is probably bad and needs to be replaced or cleaned. I would clean the sensor to make sure it floats freely.

Also, did you buy it new or used? It seems the osmolator nano has an adjustment in the controller where you have to adjust the jumper inside the controller for tanks under and over 100L. You can check the manual on the setting.

I have it in a corner so it doesnt get much flow since its covered by an hob. I bought it new

It's not looking too great, frogspawn have basically no tissue, torches are receding quickly and tissues peeling

At this point I'm just hoping my malaysian sungod pulls through, it hasn't receded but all my other hgs and torches are going fast

I would try to find a reefer nearby who may have cipro to spare. Make a new thread asking for some nearby, and I think someone local to you will be able to spare some.

Good luck with saving your torches. I've been through torch melting episode and it sucks. Mine is still barely recovering from the last time.

BTW, I've never had good luck with H2O2 besides getting rid of algae. Definitely be careful.

I never used KFC before, but I think it is daily.

When I dipped my torch in cipro, I did it daily for 2-3 days. I also sucked up any brown stuff with a turkey baster. If the head was too far gone, I dremel cut it off and tossed it.

Forgot to mention that I also did a in tank cipro treatment as well.

dipped twice so far, a few of the torches are looking fat this morning with lights off. Frogspawn was fully recessed and I thought that there was 0 chance they were coming back, 90 percent of the tissue was gone and it was fully sucked in. This morning all of the heads were poking out... Going to do the third dip today, KFC looks like it works wonders but I don't want to jinx anything yet
Thank you again to @joeoliver for saving me

Finished 3 days of KFC dips, now doing in tank cipro treatment for a few days. Majority of the torches are looking very plump, zoas are opening up again (strats survived), goni is bigger than I've seen it in the last month. Hopefully things continue to come back

Almost everythings opened now, making a comeback. One small cotton candy torch did melt away after treatments though. Corals are scattered everywhere right now since I just want to get them healthy again before making the tank look good :)

Also switched to 2 part a few days ago and dialed the dosing in, dosing brightwell restor for the time being on my old doser.

Corals and anemone have been doing well, just tested today and alk was at 6.8, I'm taking it as a good sign that the corals are recovering from the scare that happened a few weeks ago since they're upping their intake

Haven't been touching this tank much due to college apps/school but it looks like it's doing well so far
