Auto top offs...what brand do you use?

[mr123]

In the market for an ATO and was wondering what brand you guys used? I was debating picking up a tunze 3155 and just wanted some feedback from you veteran guys here at brs. Is the tunze a good ATO? Is there another ATO I should be looking at instead? I have a 60 gallon tank with a 20gal sump. Any input is appreciated. Thank you.

I love the tunze, has never let me down!

I use the avast ato. Had it for 3-4 year now and it hasn't let me down. I just use it off my reefkeeper and it works great.

I used to use the tunze one but after that went I got the new hydor smart ATO. I had a small pump to use with it and I love it! Not even sure how it works but it has an alarm and hasn't messed up yet.

I guess a better question is.....is there a bad ATO you'd stay away from? All good options above

Spectrapure uplc. Ultra quiet and compact.

Used to use Tunze Osmolator(the one with two stages). It never miss a beat.
With the current tank and Profilux controller, I use profilux optical sensor and float sensor with a spectrepure remote liter meter hooked up to the control. This way, I can access my ATO remotely if needed.

I use a Tunze top of system with my controller filling the top off container once a day with a peristaltic pump. it caps daily top off to 4gal. The Tunze screeches when water level it is too high or too low so you know as soon as you walk in the door there is an issue.

Manual top off by hand

Hydor ATO works great no issues

Reefkeeper with float switches and maxijet 900. Only thing with this setup is I had to attach a little night light on the same outlet as the maxi jet or else the pump would occasionally stick on because the draw from the pump alone isn't enough for the pc4 to recognize

RKE with redundant manual and electric float switches. Haven't had any issues and really cheap to hook up to an existing RKE.

I use liter meter but will be soon using Spectrapure ultra precise control.

Nick how do you connect the LM to the Profilux?

Also with LiterMeter and the Ultra you can push the water up two stories that's why I use it.
