It mounts magnetically to the outside of the glass and reports the level straight into the ReefBeat app alongside your other ReefSense readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid-state, titanium-probe sensing\u003c\/strong\u003e — uses electrical-conductivity detection rather than a moving float, so there's nothing mechanical to jam or wear out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic mount\u003c\/strong\u003e — fits glass up to 12 mm (½\") thick, no drilling or glue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in temperature sensor\u003c\/strong\u003e — accurate to ±0.1°C, reported alongside the level in the ReefBeat app.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlugs straight into ReefControl\u003c\/strong\u003e — works with ReefControl Lite or Pro, and can interface with a ReefControl Power unit to switch a top-up pump or an alarm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSensing technology\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid-state, titanium-probe electrical-conductivity (EC) water-level sensing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMounting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnetic bracket, fits glass up to 12 mm (½\") thick\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBuilt-in temperature accuracy\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±0.1°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConnects to\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReefControl Lite or ReefControl Pro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included \/ what you'll still need\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the ReefSense ATO Sensor itself — the titanium probe and mounting bracket. It does not include a top-up dosing pump, reservoir or tubing, or a ReefControl hub; you'll need a ReefControl Lite or Pro to read the sensor, and a separate pump (switched through ReefControl Power, or your existing ATO pump) to act on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for fresh or marine tanks already running, or about to run, ReefControl Lite or Pro. Not suitable as a stand-alone ATO system — it's the level sensor, not the pump that does the topping up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Sea has not published a specific run-dry or overfill fail-safe behaviour for this sensor on its Australian or global product pages at the time of writing. Check your ATO reservoir manually until you're confident the system is behaving as expected, and never leave a top-up pump running unattended and unchecked for the first few days after setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovered by Red Sea's manufacturer warranty, in addition to your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law.
