Hey everyone! I've been looking for an ATO system; with everything included for a few months. Anyone have such a thing their willing to sell?
I hate my levels rising, and dropping all the time :/
 
The JBJ worked well for me for years. The Hydor is surprisingly good also. I got it in a package deal and hooked it up. I was surprised how well it has worked. Good luck in your search. Wish I could help, but I still have both and plan to put one on a mixing station.
 
I just got in the Marine Depot branded kit.

Very nice for the $. Comes with the pump and hose too. Just drop in a reservoir.
 
What kind of ato do you want Josh? Be specific. I'll ask some friends that might hook a sister up.

To be honest! I've not done as much reading as I'd like to. I believe it's called a float switch? I've heard those are incredibly inexpensive, but can malfunction(as goes with any float switch) my plan was just to replace it every year or two so I wouldn't have to deal with malfunctions. Does anyone have a vendetta with float switches? As far as a holding tank; I'm completely in the dark about. What do you guys use?
Thanks -Josh
 
I use the Tunze nano ATO and I think it works great. Have been useing it for the past 6 months with out a problem. I do know BRS has sales on them once and a while for like $80-$85 I know it's over your $75 budget but IMO an ATO is not something I wouldn't cheap out on. I wouldn't want 10 gallons on my floor if it were going to fail.

Several people have said smart ato. I think @Adam113 has one. I could be mistaken.

I took the plastic cap drilled 2 holes in it one for the hose and the other for the power it works great. I am not going to buy A reservoir that's a waste of money in my eyes.
