Here is a pic of the ATO in action. The minimum run time is 20 seconds so I've had to slow the pump action with a TLF 1/2" ball valve, as I mentioned.
If it fills too fast the water level will rise and alarm will sound (annoying), not to mention messing up your salinity. I have also noticed that the sensor needs to be cleaned of salt creep once a week. I use a Q-Tip. Overall it seems like a good system, so far.

Well I decided I would get the hydor and give it a try along with a eheim compact 300. Should have it by next weekend lol. Thanks for the advice and the tips.

Let me know how you like the Hydor.. I was going to buy that one then ended up making my own DIY Arduino Auto top off with optical sensor Its a similair idea to Tunze Osmolator Universal 3155

$40 aquahub DIY ato from BRS and any little pump $15-20 is what I use works perfect.

Well I finally got around to making room under my stand for the ato reservoir. Today I got the hydor ato with an eheim compact 600 pump installed and so far I love it!
