Looking for a reliable plug and play ATO
The return section of my sump is so small (~5gallon) that it needs to be topped up every day or the return pump starts sucking air.
I am looking for a trusted ATO that will work out of the box and preferably something with built in redundancy. |
Hard to go wrong with a Tunze Osmolator...
|
Tunze osmo all the way.
BEST purchase I ever made for my sump. |
I wouldn't consider anything other than the Tunze Osmolator on my tank. That's what it has now, and nothing else would be an option for me.
|
Another one for the Osmolator.
Remember what Vince says: "The Germans always make good stuff." http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c1...18-shamwow.jpg |
Vince also says: "Stay away from cannibal prostitutes"
http://www.bestweekever.tv/bwe/image...HAMWOW-GUY.jpg ...Sorry I couldn't help myself... But, yeah Tunze ozmo is the best ATO. |
Another vote for Tunze. Have owned two and will never run a tank without one.
|
If you have the room and want to keep it simple, gravity feed from a raised container. Either use a mechanical float valve or a dual tube set up to control the level. Another advantage is that it's not affected by power outage. Of course a power outage brings with it all kinds of other issues....

I use 2 JBJ ATO on my 2 tank and they have worked flawlessly for a year now. Much less expensive than the tunzee which was not in my budget for my 2 aquariums.

For another option check out Blue Line's Tsunami AT1 I've used one for 8 years literally without any maintenance. No moving parts it uses air pressure.
You should be able to find one for $60-$70 Don't use the suction cup, zip tie it to a bracket. |
