Typically there is a float switch or sensor in the sump. You set the level in the sump and the water is filled automatically via a small pump in the ATO tank. I plan on eventually having a large poly container w/fresh makeup water that will be hard plumbed to all the tanks. A turn of a ballvalve and I'll be able to refill all the ATO tanks easily.

I bought a used Geo 612 CaRx for the FT.

I thought I would post some updated pics of the fuge. I changed out the atinics and and added 3 Giesseman mid day bulbs w/one aqua blue+. I received my vortech mp10 back from Ecotech Marine (now whisper quite), & added 10 peppermint shrimp.

Shoal grass (Halude Wrightii)
Red Algae pack (I think the red algae varies to availability, but you want gracialla for sure).

I picked up some frags from my buddy mario (Xcaret). They're mostly sps: Red planet, pink sand dollar, purple monster, blue milli, etc. I dipped them in CoralRx and intercepter. The FT is starting to look pretty full.

 

[gimmito]

I started adding a cleanup crew... I was getting a little bored of looking at rock, sand, & water.

I added 10 cleaner shrimp, 6 fire shrimp, 10 trochus snails, & 10 nassarius snails.
