Hello,
Unsure of the best place to post this or the best way to try and explain as photos just don't do it so here goes .......
I use an Auto Aqua smart ATO micro on my tank.
I have a container filled with tap water where my pump sits, sometimes but not all of the time I add a dechlorinator (Seachem Prime) to the water but unsure if that could be the problem so have been trying without.
The sensor lives in the tank as I use an external filter not a sump.
The pipe trails straight upwards from the pump to the aquarium and I have the anti-syphon fitting attached just at the top of the container above the water line.
My main problem is over time I'm getting a slightly slimy feeling white build up on my pipes in the water storage container.
Also at times I've have had black spots inside the pipe above the water storage which remains empty.
Anyone have any clues or suggestions?
Andrew
