    I'm looking for a ato that will handle the following run.
    From mixing station: straight up basement wall 6ft across basement ceiling 25ft in 1/2" PVC. Reduced down to 1/2 to 1/4" tubing just before going thru floor up 1' then across to tank 8ft away in 1/4 " ro tubing.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Are you wanting to pump saltwater too for water changes, or just strictly at ATO? If its just ato I think for that type of run I would use a peristaltic dosing pump and run 1/4" ro tubing the entire way.

    I just bought me a liter meter 3 with the topoff module. I still need to buy me some additional pumps to do some automatic water changes.with that said I will be selling my avast marine topoff soon. It is the one with the paristalic pump. It pumps from my basement approximately 25 feet away.

    It crossed my mind to do both the RO and saltwater. I usually just drain 20 gallons in buckets then haul water up from the basement. So I have really thought about being able to pump saltwater from the basement to the tank.

    I have the litermeter iii, remote module/pump, and the ato UPLC-ii module. These combined do automatic water changes and ato for me on my 180. Saves me a ton of time on maintenance and helps keep tank stable. I will be selling the whole station - pumps/modules/mixing station/ etc. in a few weeks if interested. Sadly, I will be leaving the hobby soon.
