Good auto top offs for a nano?

I ran the smart ATO micro on my nuvo 10 for a year. Moved it to the new 75 and have never had an issue. Great product, just remember to clean the sensor every once and awhile.

Why are the auto reservoirs so expensive? Aren't they just contains to hold water

Because people buy them, lol. That's why I used a dog food container. I drilled a hole in the top for the wire and hose, then I just flip the top open to refill it.

My big tank has a 5 gallon glass that looks nice. It is visible so I wanted it to look nice. The other one is in the cabinet.

I thought I was missing something lol. You just keep it filled with RO water right?

Yes, RO/DI to be exact.

You can also just get a Home Depot bucket. My grocery store sells food grade buckets. If it's food grade you know that there isn't any BHA that is going to leech into the water. I figured a container made for food was ok.
