Your ATO is creating a siphon. you can buy a push connect siphon break to prevent that. that will allow you to move the ATO back to the sump without trickling in.
You are absolutely correct. To fix the siphon issue. I moved the top off tube up to the display tank. I wanted to maximize the amount of space that i had in the ATO bucket. To properly install a siphon break would have robbed me of much needed space. Plus i didnt like the other option that i had with putting the siphon outside/above the ATO container. I'm trying to keep the area as moisture free as I can. Even though I have all this water in one area. Lol
I hope your power strip got mounted up off the floor. I wonder how many folks have burned down their houses before they came to respect SALT water and electricity...

The entire tank has been taken down. But for my power strips on my other tanks are mounted off the floor.
