New to Hydros - Tunze ATO pump

[Coach v]

I recently purchsed a used hydros setup. It comes with a x4, 2 temp probes, 3 wifi power strips, pH probe, water level and skimmer level sensors, wifi fish feeder and a few other items. It should arrive on Saturday.

My tunze ato has stopped working (power converter issue) and getting the hydros setup as an ato is my top priority. Can I use my existing tunze pump connected to the x4 somehow?

This is the pump I have:

Replacement Metering Pump for Tunze Osmolator 5000.02

Easily replace the low voltage metering pump for your Tunze Osmolator Universal 3155 auto top off system.

You might be able to get it to work with an adapter but given that the Hydros ATO pump is $25 I would just get the hydros pump that you know works.

CoralVue Hydros DC Micro Pump (HDRS-DP-200H)

With a Hydros DC Micro Pump (HDRS-DP-200H) and a Hydros Optical Water Level Sensor (or Float Sensor), you can use the Hydros Control 2 and Control 4 as an auto top-off (ATO) system.

It might also be worth just getting the hydros ATO kit with everything you need.

CoralVue Hydros Auto Top-Off (ATO) Kit (HDRS-ATO-200H)

The CoralVue Hydros Auto Top-Off (ATO) Kit (HDRS-ATO-200H) comes with everything you need to use your Hydros device (Control 2 or Control 4) as an ATO system.

I use a Hydros dosing pump as the ATO pump on my Hydros. They also have a small ATO pump that works on the drive ports like the dosing pump.

The tunze pump won’t work with the hydros x4 drive port. It draws alittle too much power at startup than hydros is rated for.

Thank you all. I was hoping to get by with the tunze pump for now. I will order a hydros dc pump and fix the power supply on the tunze and give it to my son.
