AWC Icecap ATO not filling.. help

[skisamabinladen]

Good 1am everyone,

I have been periodically checking my settings and making tweaks, but this has been an absolute ass pain, and I cant even remember my original settings.
Basically, I set up the AWC, and had no problems. I am slightly butthurt that the high level sensor is required, but oh well.
My AWC Fill and Drain are my Hydros X10 pumps, and my 12v ATO is powered by my drive (orange) cable.

Basically, the AWC has no problems, however, today, my logs indicated that my ATO has not been powered on when my High level sensor is in a DRY state.
On my logs, it has stated that my ATO has been powered on periodically, but I have yet to see that happen. If I override the ATO to ON, it is, indeed, on.
Is this because I am not using the Hydros ATO? Does anyone else have recommendations or fixes for this? I have to leave for Florida for 6 months for work, and I purchased as much Hydros gear as I could to make this process less painful on my roommate, and have until Friday to resolve...
I'm tempted to just buy the Hydros ATO and hope it arrives in time, and fixes my problem, but if it doesn't, then fml.

For one thing after a drain and fill completes the ATO will not run for several minutes. Any top off done during that time frame will be from the fill pump and not the ATO pump. Here is a screenshot of my last water change. As you can see the fill pump was doing the topoffs during that time frame. It looks like it was just after a water change when the ATO was not coming on which would be normal. Also the X10 pumps are not ment to be on for long periods of time. Not sure how long they are running when doing the water change. I am currently using Blenny pumps but I have the water change split into 4 times a day to make sure it does not run nut just a few minutes each time. I think the drain is set to 14 minutes but the Blenny pumps only do 55ml a minute max.

Each cycle (fill/drain) runs for 10 minutes and 8 seconds. I have a good few blips of the ATO allegedly working today, I may alert when on so I can run downstairs and verify that it is actually on. Historically, it will say DRY and ON, and there is no light on my ATO sensor. However I just dosed Mag and 2 part throughout today, so my HLS is almost submerged. Gotta wait for some evaporation.

I guess my screenshot didn't post. Here it is. Sorry about that.
