Hello Fellow Reef Enthusiasts,
Hello Fellow Reef Enthusiasts,
I'm embarking on a project to refine the auto top off (ATO) system for my Red Sea tank. While the tank comes equipped with its own gravity-fed ATO reservoir, I've found myself with a Kamoer ATO One 2 SE kit, thanks to a purchase made before I knew about the Red Sea tank's built-in feature.
The Kamoer's original pump doesn't meet the distance challenge I'm up against: pumping RODI water from a container located approximately 15 to 20 meters away. This is where the EchoTech VERSA PERISTALTIC PUMP comes in. Known for its power and reliability, I believe the Versa pump might be the solution.
Here's my plan: I want to connect the Versa pump to the Kamoer ATO system, allowing the Versa to be activated by the Kamoer ATO controller each time the water level in the reservoir dips.
For clarity, I've attached photos of the Versa pump's power supply and the Kamoer ATO controller. My initial thought is to modify the power connections to bridge these systems. But before I delve in, I'm reaching out for any wisdom or tips.
Seeking Guidance on Tools and Components:To be completely transparent, I'm venturing into unfamiliar territory here. My experience with electrical components and related tools is minimal. So, I'd appreciate advice on:
