Anyone have an issue with the water in the return chamber on their 20 gal AIO raises very slowly? It is not my ATO... Works fine.. I noticed it at night only. Anyone ever have it where electric surges (ACs kicking on)caused the pump to slow just a little that causes it to increase?

I think its flow issues. I have a 180 with a 75 gallon sump and if I move anything to have just a tad more flow or a tad less my ato goes haywire. I'm thinking something in your tank that you may be unaware of is messing with your flow rates. Also it could very well be evaporation. I have an open top and it sucks up RODI water like crazy even when I don't mess with my flow.

Just to add to that evaporation it gets worse the farther the in house temp is away from my tank temp

Yeah nano tanks def show weird water swings from little stuff like that. I’d check your pump plug and see if it’s sharing power with big
