How do you install the sensor in the tank. It came with this clip but the clip at its highest part it still is a little low for where I want the level to be, any ideas on how to raise it?

It came with a suction cup, but If it loses suction it could overflow my tank.

There should be an extension in the package of stuff that came with the controller. It should have a hole on one end and a few more button connectors on the other end. You should be able to make the sensor go plenty deep for the ato to work for you. Good luck, oh and by the way the ato works great, I have been using it for about 6 months and haven't had a problem.

I was actually trying to keep the sensor at the lip of my tank since that is where I like my level at.

I used the suction cup to keep it at the very top and zip tied the wires to my lighting cords incase the cup gets loose, the sensor can't go any lower.
