auto top-off for aquapod 24 gallon

[DaveG99]

I am moving to Dallas texas here in about 3 weeks. I plan on setting up a 24 gallon aquapod as soon as I get settled in. I am going ot get the open top with the MH. I am going to be returning to Orlando for christmas for 4 days. I am thinking about making an auto top off system for the tank to keep the water level up while I am gone. I am thinking of getting the switch from nano tuners and using a reservoir inside the stand where the water pumps in the main tank when it gets low. Does anyone have a system like this?

If you're talking about the ATO from JBJ, then yes I've got one on my NC24. It's really easy to set-up, just get the ATO, candy cane tube, tubing, and reservior. I used 1/2" I.D. tubing. Just make sure the powerhead you run has enough head pressure. I tried Mini-jet 606, not enough head pressure. My NC24 is older, I upgrade the stock power head to MJ1200. Then, I used the stock power head for the ATO.
