just installed a ghetto ATO system haha i calculated how much my system loses roughly every day and placed a small 10g tank next to my sump with a powerhead and a tube going to my sump and used the reef keeper to set up a timer to turn it on long enough to pump about 3/4 a gallon in every night haha. crude, but it works
