JR! Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Cool cool. Isn't it crazy how much things top off? I never really knew what to expect with an ATO but man it tops off a lot. I hate that I don't have one on my 55g, but eh...no biggie I guess. I should just sell it and use the $$$ to make my shallow build (not in progress yet) a reality and exactly how I want it to be thats what i have been telling a buddy to do. they are way more fun imo Link to comment
Degener8 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I plan on justy getting a TOM aqualifter to run as an ATO pump. Very gradual alot of people use em but I am all for repurposing what ya already have Link to comment
JR! Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 i wish i could have went with the aqualifter but the head height was just to much Link to comment
Degener8 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yeah i suppose it would be with this being in the bottom of the stand and filling to top of tank. Their max height is only 30 inches. Link to comment

Spirofucci Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 My ATO pumps alot and fast as well. I ended up putting a hose clamp on the tubing so the diameter is about half. That did slow it down some. Link to comment

JoelRHale Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yeah, I'd like to too. My cleaners' both bearing eggs was really neat and down the road I'd like other things in my tank that breed for three reasons: good natural food source, it's super cool, and the off chance that one might make it and you discover it months later.
