    Is there a specific Tunze ATO? I have a nano tank, so is this the one I want?
    Tunze Nano Osmolator 3152

    I'd like to get one that I can transfer to a bigger tank should I decide to upgrade.

    This. Get the 3155 if you can. Takes 5 minutes to set up. Has 2 sensors with the primary being an optical sensor.

    OK. I'm about to pull the trigger on the Tunze ATO. I've been looking around for the best prices but the average price is $200. If I'm not mistaken, I think I read a post about controllers that also acted as an ATO. Am I making this up? Is there a controller I can buy that also acts as an ATO? I figure I can kill two birds with one stone if I'm going to be spending as much as $200.

    BTW -- The biggest reason I want an ATO is because I HATED walking water back and forth everytime I needed to top off the tank. In my previous build If I didn't top off, the water got low and the filter sounded crazy and the sound of the water wall was KILLING me!

    *shudders*

    I really want to avoid all that this go round. :D

    You can get a Reef Angel controller for just a little more than the Tunze, and it comes with ATO built in (just need to buy the Aqualifter pump). Plus you get all of the other benefits of the controller.
