Tunze ato advice

Anyone use this bad boy ?

Looking for an ato for a 90l nano with a sump 15l

I use it. Works great for the purpose. I hear you do not want to run the pump dry other than that works great.

I run my pump dry all the time. It turns itself off so there is no damage. It vibrates the bucket I use for my water so I turn it off unless I'm not around. I've read that the pumps don't last but a couple of years usually but I get around 5 years out of mine so far. They are around $20 to replace and it is good to have a spare unless you have a LFS that carries. I've been using the tunze ato for around 8 years. I personally wouldn't use any other one.

I have the full blown ato and not the nano.

i've been using this tunze top off for 4 yrs now since I bought it new. so far so great.
again, this was my first ever top off system so i don't have any thing to compare to but so far it's getting the job done for me.

hope this helps.

You won't be sorry your ordered one. Just make sure on initial submersion of the pump and every time you take the pump out of the water to tilt the pump upside-down and shake it/tap it to release all the trapped air bubbles.
