Using an acrylic tube for ato container.

Is this possible? I am trying to figure out how to do this but I have the autoaqua micro smart ato and it comes with a little pump. Should I buy a different ato and use a aqua lifter?

Is there a hatch? Mine looks exactly the same except it has a round hatch near the front. Drop the pump in n route the wires n tubing out the square opening.

There is a hatch but I am going to be using Kalk and want to use the acrylic tube so it sits just off the bottom. I thought I have seem people do this before.

I'm not sure the pump supplied by SmartATO can be used externally.

I just switched to an Avast ATO with peristaltic pump.
