To get this to work with my ATO container, I need the pump input to be 1/4 tube or at least have the pump external from my container. It is not really possible for me to submerge with metering pump that comes in the box.

Any recommendations?

Might want to look at the Switched socket outlet 3150.11 which will let you use a different pump of your choice

That would be the only other option, it then switches a 115V socket and lets you use the pump of your choice.

Ok ive looked it up...so I can use any pump I want like a maxi jet and the osmolator will control it?

You can but I don't know of any maxijets that can pump more than 2 ft up, you will typically need a much larger pump, like a big Mag Drive, Eheim, Tunze Silence or even an Iwaki to pump against the usual head pressures to reach the tank.
