saying "its a plumbing problem" is not realy helping.
I said plumbing problem also, but pointed to a specific problem. I know thoues of us who have built our reefs know instinctivly where to look, but think of this as what would you check in a system that you have never seen befor.. which also makes it alot harder not seeing it. my guess as I said is a syphoning problem (which is a plumbing problem  ) but who can say for sure never seeing how it is plumbed. is it syphoning in the overflow system, the skimmer ect? I had a skimmer that would do that.some good pictures showing the set up and how its plumbed would go a long way to getting help figguring this out. check to make sure the skimmer discharge is not submerged and if it is there has to be a high point for air to get into the discharge line to act as a syphon break or you will create a syphoning cycle in the skimmer.

Where is the fresh top up water stored. Even though the ATO is shut off, is there any possiblility that a siphon is occurring from the TO water into the sump when the sump level drops from evaporation. I know it's a long shot but worth checkiing
