The 3-in-1 ReefATO+
This exceptionally reliable auto top-off system includes a highly accurate temperature monitor plus an external leak detector and comes with a smart controller that connects it to the ReefBeat eco-system.
The ReefATO+ has a solid-state water level sensor with an array of titanium probes that pinpoint if the water is above, below, or at the desired level. This comes together with a microprocessor-controlled extra-quiet pump and multiple safety features, including an auto-shutdown mechanism if the pump is running for too long or running dry.
Each fill is completed within a precise 3mm band, keeping the water volume and salinity nice & stable. In addition, the higher-level backup probes only react when the ATO pump is on, so routine water fluctuations, such as when using roller filters or turning off the return pump, will not trigger any false alarms. The water level sensor also includes an accurate digital thermometer that has been pre-calibrated to 0.1 degrees, which provides a full log and high/low-temperature notifications.
The ReefATO+ is part of the ReefBeat ecosystem, so it has lots of smart features such as disabling the auto-fill during maintenance work and water changes or switching off the ReefRun pumps if a leak is detected.
Existing Red Sea REEFER system owners can purchase a dedicated ReefATO+ upgrade kit (at a discounted price), which is a drop-in replacement for the standard gravity-fed float valve system.Smart. Safe. Quiet.
The ReefATO+ is designed to maintain a stable salinity and water volume in a reef aquarium by automatically replenishing the water lost due to evaporation. In addition, the ReefATO+ provides two other critical aquarium health indicators: a fully featured on-line digital temperature monitor and a leak detector.
Safe.
l-proof (solid-state EC technology) water level sensor with built-in safety shutoff. Automatic shut-down if the sensor is not connected, if the pump runs significantly longer than normal, if the RO reservoir runs out of water or if a leak is detected.

Collapsible content
LIGHT
LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.
MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height.
HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.
FLOW
LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.
MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.
HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.
SKILL
ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.
While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
