I found this custom config for Evergrow IT2060. It doesn't give me PAR with above configs that I setup. Hopefully when T5 kicks in it will do the job.

I have a refractometer I remember the brand..

I added 1/2 cup every 6hrs in the sump return where water flow and skimmer is.

I do have issues with salinity. No matter how much salt I added the bar isn't moving up much.. I had it at 1.020, 40g (tank +Sump). I added almost 3 cups of salt gradually in the sump and bar moved form 1.020 to 1.022. I am afraid of over dousing salt because I don't know if my refractometer is doing any justice.

Here is graphical PAR map of my tank..

Lightning: I did test the PAR. Initially, it was at 200 at the surface and 110 bottom center. Around the center it was 75 range. left side of the tank where lights are not there is giving 40 Par below. I bumped up sunny setting Ch1 to 90, Ch2 65. Now I am getting 325 Par surface, Ground 250 PAR, all round the tank 150. In addition, If I turn on T5 in the noon, it will add additional 50 PAR everywhere for next 4 hours. With Marine Care test kit, 10ml water, 15 drops alkalinity titration. My alk is at 15 :(

White spots are increasing after I did coral dip for 8min.

White spot on Rainbow Montie. It was on the rack. I moved it to high light, high water flow area. 1 week after I started seeing this. In between I added cleaning crew hermits crabs. It this dying? What can be done to help save this?

I added my self in the list but haven't heard back form anyone. Would I get notificaiton?

I would appreciate some help with coral placement based on my tank design.

@WheresTheReef do I have Actinic light with your setup you made? I'm trying to see color of rainbow montipora but don't see much..

@WheresTheReef @ImGoingCoastal @DFR @Mattiejay6 Corals added to the tank.. blue cespitularia coral/ Blue Xenia Green Star Polyps Frogspawn Long Polyp Devil's Hand rainbow montipora long polyp leather

Thank you for all your suggestions. I did apply the fix you suggested and ATO is functioning as normal.

When I lift up the tube higher then reservoir water stops dripping. I have to fill in less water in the reservoir.

so I let the water evaporate and turn on my ATO. This time water in the return was below sensor and even after adding water it continue to drip water in the return. 1) water level in the return form the tank line is 5inc down 2) Circle in the picture - Tube is 4inch above the sensor in the return (Yes it makes noise) for not it's fine. If get this to work the way it should be. 3) Reservoir water level max to the surface I think it is creating syphon (thin dripping) effect since tube is below water level then reservoir.

As of now I have so much water and waiting to evaporate. Tonight I'll try to remove some water and do the test.

Reservoir water level is definitely higher then the end tube by 3.5 inch goin in to the compartment where pump is pushing water back to the tank (middle section). Middle section water level and ATO pipe has about 1.5inch clearance. As shown in the picture - blue lines.

All good information.. This overfilling happens only when I top off my reservoir (weekly) and sump kick on first time. It pushes water beyond the sensor. Entire setup is done the way you have described. I'll double check. Do you think this is happening because all of sudden reservoir has lot of water and it creates pressure on the sump pump?

@WheresTheReef @ImGoingCoastal @DFR @Mattiejay6 All the experts out there, I really need help. I am having major challenge with ATO. Every time I refill my 5g reservoir, after that first time ATO kicks in, it add excess amount of water overfilling above the sensor and return baffle partition. That's log of water when you have corals. My tank is 34g. It has 2 clowns so far. Sump 15g- divided in return 10g and ATO reservoir 5g side by side. Tunze Nano Osmolator 3152 (Excess black pipe was cut to feed in to the sump).

I was able to most of the fix accept moving top plate down. Its anchored in really strong. may be I can place slow growing corals there? Any suggestions? Also, sump return water makes lot of noise. ay solution to quiet it?

QT in front of the main display...

Finally ager log wait, aquascape is in the water. @WheresTheReef @ImGoingCoastal @DFR @Mattiejay6 @sethsolomon your thoughts.. Aquascape in the tank.mp4

@DFR the left structure will stick above the tank water level by 2.5inch creating an island.
