    People will vary in their response. I have no ATO so in my sump, I drew a low line, a water line, and a high line. At the water line, I keep 1.025. at its lowest, it will be 1.027 and at the high line, it will be 1.024. I pour my top off water when it is at the low line and fill it to the high line. Sort of a way to maintain consistency without an ATO. probably more than you were asking. haha
