No light. It is in a room with no windows in the basement. It has a lid but it doesn't cover the entire top because it has changed shape from the weight of the water.

Do you have a process you go by for how much bleach to use and how to be sure it is all removed?

When using tank transfers, does the fish go into the display at the end or into QT for observation?

My tlf only leaked when I had to move it around to change out the gfo. Nothing a towel won't handle. That is without any type of hose clamp. I also found the mj400 on my 150 had to be dialed back...

That doesn't sound good. Kind of sounds like it is freezing and works for a bit after being unplugged. Doesn't really sound like a simple fix.

Do the sensor lights go out if you manually move the float on either sensor? What if you unplug a sensor? Have you tried pulling power from the ATO and plugging it back in?
