ATO suggestions

[ebojo]

What do people suggest for ATO systems? I was looking around and came across this one.

Has anyone tried this, or have any feedback on it?

Thanks

Thats decent but for not much more money you could get a reefkeeper lite ($119)and just add a float switch. That way you have a full fledged controller.

What he said. I had already bought an ATO before I got my RKL. Been using my JBJ ATO for over four years with no problems.

I hear good things about the JBJ model.

I use the double float system from here.

Depending on what you get, it's in the $50 range.

A little pricey, but I like the Tunze Osmolator. Comes with a magic eye rather than floats, so no float to get stuck on or off, and everything you need comes in the box. I jjust installed one last week, and am very happy with it.

+1 Osmolator. I actually run it with my Apex controller. Some have criticized that this is overkill and I'm not taking advantage of the controller itself. My response is that with 3 kids, I don't really have time to DIY an ATO, even if it's not that hard with a breakout box. I just like that the Osmolator is plug-and-play.

I use the JBJ ATO and its worked flawlessly for over a year. Once you get it dialed in it does the job.
