Gravity fed into a float valve never failed me yet, I don't trust switches and electrical devices I've seen them fail to much
 
My jbj with an aqualufter works pretty good, but I have to check it occasionally and had turn the internal timer all the way up to be sure it fully fills the sump, would work better with a maxijet (or something with a higher flow rate) and I intend to replace the pump later. The internal timer is a failsafe for when the pump is on to be sure it does not overfill your sump or cavitate your pump in case of float switch failure.
 
I love my tunze. Best money I have spent

Problem is most probably dont have experience with both. The Tunze being the most popular will almost certainly get more votes even if the elos is better. I have the Tunze by the way...
 
Tagging along to see what people say. I have never used an ATO. With the Tunze do you just need a resevoir (bucket ;) ) and you are ready to go? Where do people usually have their resevoirs? I don't have any room in my stand as I used up all the space for the sump/fuge. Just put it next to the set up?
 
Neither.
I have been using the Spectrapure Ultra Precise Liquid Controller II for 3.5 years now and its been bulletproof. Its similar to the Tunze but more compact and uses the same perstaltic pump as the LiterMeter.

It can be used in fill or drain mode and is user adjustable from 1/10" to 4" at the push of a button. You can also set the fill rate so it from 2 mL per minute to 200 mL per minute as safety so it could never possibly overflow even if it failed completely. It also comes with a float switch as a second redundant backup.

tunzee osmolator. I have two units going and have never had a failure with either one of them. Bullet proof reliability is all I've experienced, wouldn't trust anything else for my ATO needs to be honest.
 
+1 Couldn't agree more.
