Best resevoir for the Tunze ATO system and how far can you hide it?

Also...
Can the tunze pump run dry or does it have a built in sensor?

It can run dry.

Great ATO system though. It's one of the few pieces of equipment on my tank I completely trust.

It can run dry but it will turn off after about ten minutes of run time.

Ya, that's how I know that the bucket is empty if I hear the pump running dry (it's rather loud and difficult to ignore).

Sometimes my wife will hear it while I'm at work and fill it up for me.
