I had one and it worked erratically, I spoke with hydor and they explained it operated on a temperature sensor. So when your house temp and your tank temp is the same, it can overfill your tank or just not work. I would not recommend this unit. If you are looking for something on a budget and don't need all the bells and whistle, check out autotopoff.com ; I use these on 3 of my tanks. For a little more money the JBJ isn't bad, I've had one in service on another tank for about 5 years.

I use a Hydor ATO on my 135 gallon tank with an Aqua Lifter pump. In the 1.5 years I've used it I have not had any issues.

I used it before changing tanks and had no issues with it, would have kept using it if it would have fit the new set up. I still have, just sitting in my closet
