Well, I'm a newb...

Been filling my RO reserves all day yesterday. Probably had about 20 gallons made sitting in a Brute can next to my 125g. My ATO runs through the lid of that, back to the ground then back up about 1.5' of my sump walls. Woke up this morning and did my usual walk to the tank to make sure nothing is wrong - well, my tank is super full (Not overflowing thankfully) and my sump is a few inches higher than normal as well. I'm guessing my ATO siphoned slowly overnight! Lesson learned...Now to figure out how to protect from siphoning.

the tube going into the sump must be higher than the water line in the ato
