    Just curious after doing some research on a dependable ATO system. Though mostly articles from the actual manufacturers touting their own product. I know though, that the double solenoid types are the best? Anyway, I'm just curious what everyone else has experienced with your ATO, if you use one, what would you recommend, etc. :confused:8)

    I just bought the aquahub DIY kit. It was only like $40 and then a dosing pump for $15 to go along with it. So a complete ATO setup for $55. It was really easy to put together and has been working good, granted it's only been operating for less than 24 hours now.

    I use the reef fanatic ATO with a Tom Aqualifter pump. I have had zero problems with it and have been using it for over 2 years now.

    Well I don't have any complaints yet. It works just fine but I'll be sure to post on here if something does go wrong with it. For the price I think it's great.

    Spectrapure UPLC-II. Bulletproof with a three lobe peristaltic pump and an emergency back up float switch. Took about 1 minute to program and its been great ever since.
