ATO for Biocube 29

drdude05 · 05-25-2007, 12:59 AM

I am planning for an ATO system for my Oceanic Biocube. Does anyone know if the metering pump that comes with the Tunze osmolator can handle pumping top off water to a height of 3-3.5 feet?
I'm also looking at the ATO controller from Foster and Smith. Does anyone have any comments as to their performance and reliability? Also, any suggestions as to pump size to purchase with the system to pump a height of 3-3.5 feet?

i would think so. 3-4' is not that much. i would see if you can get the manual from the Tunze site to be sure though.

They would handle that height. I know it won't lift 6' though.
