Making up for lost water due to evaporation is one of the most important functions required of saltwater aquariums and there’s a myriad of ways to accomplish this. AutoAqua is one of the companies that’s been the most focused on the Auto Top Off market releasing new devices and machines every few years and their latest is one of our favorite new ATO form factors ever.
这Smart ATO Nano是一个大部分挂在后面的设计上,它将几乎所有最重要的组件整合到一个小的小背包中,该背包专门设计用于挂在坦克墙的边缘。看到这个is一种“纳米”设备,名称就在那里,您不会将智能的Ato Nano悬挂在带有轮辋的任何厚的坦克墙或坦克上,因为该设备的最大间隙为10毫米或厚度不到0.4英寸。
集中式炉灶大约是两个卡片甲板的大小,电源,电位传感器以及水的供水和供应线均起源于这些卡片,但包括LED指示器在内的大多数大脑和电子设备都位于磁性连接的水平传感器内。由于Autoaqua几乎将所有组件集中在一个包装中,因此Smart Ato Nano是我们见过的最插头和播放ATO产品之一。
奇怪的是,Smart Ato Nano无法与微型外部水泵一起使用,而是使用非常有创造力的设计来用于摄取hob背包的大部分内部设备。令我们感到高兴和惊讶的是,智能Ato Nano的外壳无需任何工具即可访问用户,因此很容易看一下独特的隔膜样式泵,该泵具有可用的用户,但对于任何类型的颗粒或任何类型的颗粒都可能具有很低的耐受性dust passing through so it’s a good thing the ATO kit comes with a pre-filter on the intake side.
For our personal aquariums we go to great lengths to rely on the infallibility of gravity to supply fresh water to our tanks with a mechanical float valve but this technique is not really practical for small, all in one reef aquariums without a sump. Small sump-less aquariums that are elevated on a stand really benefit from ATO devices to supply fresh water and the Smart ATO Nano is a really compact and elegant machine without a bevy of wires, tubes and cables to add to the snake pit of cable mismanagement present on most reef aquarium setups.
As the name implies the Smart ATO Nano is really only suitable for pretty small tanks as the unique diaphragm pump is非常分配新水的缓慢,与最小的蠕动泵相提并论,并以每秒几滴的速度分配新水。该泵也不是特别响亮,但也不是沉默的,因此您不想使用它来管理大量水的补充,因为这会导致智能Ato Nano运行太长,也许会导致过早磨损。
尽管有些最佳应用程序范围有些狭窄,但简洁的包装确实非常适合其设计的操作,这就是为什么它是我们多年来我们在自己的坦克上安装的第一个新的ATO“机器”。流线型的住房,安装和用户体验值得一提的100美元要价,我们非常有信心这种新型号将成为有史以来最受欢迎的最受欢迎的一种,尤其是对于较小的体积而言,这都是一个水族馆。
