What kind of problems are you having with the ATO? Just skimmer water?

I had a RS100 which I just sold since it didn't fit in my sump, and to be honest I didn't find it noisy at all... my external pump is hella noisy along with the MP10's ramping up...
Now in regards to my ATO issue... my tank is a standard 75g with a corner overflow draining into a old style acrylic sump with some stupid baffles which are cut in the middle, so cant partition the sump unfortunately... I have a Tunze ATO which keeps the water height in the sump at a constant 8.5"... however there is still a little discrepancy with the optic sensor and water level... and the skimmer doesnt like this unfortunately, but maybe it gets better with time as it is a new skimmer
you should have no problems if your sump has proper baffles for partitions. I found a
wicked company (in US) which manufactures affordable acrylic sumps/containers and I'm eventually going to buy one from them and ship it to my us mailing address...
I was quoted $550 to $700 for a acrylic refugium/ato tank 15x16*17 with one baffle so a sump from these guys at $300 seems reasonable and supercheap.
