BeardedReeferLLC Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 This new ATO product looks interesting. Input? Manual: http://innovative-marine.com/auqa-gadget/manuals/ATO-Controller-Manual.pdf Link to comment
jbb Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 That is pretty sweet. I could use this on both of my tanks for sure. Link to comment
jbb Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I may be seeing this wrong , but on their site it looks as if they sell the pump & controller separate. There is nothing showing on the site to where they are available as a kit. Link to comment
BeardedReeferLLC Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Well I don't believe they are out just yet from what I read but maybe once its ready for public use they may have different packages available. Link to comment
jbb Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I like the sensors, and the pump intake for sure Link to comment

Passaggper Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I dig it. Whaddaya think? $250? Link to comment
Ebn Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Wow. This was pretty much what I was looking for earlier. Already went with the Tunze nano osmolator so too late for this. This sucker looks sleek at a premium ($200 for controller, $100 for pump). Link to comment
not_the_size_that_counts Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 how come I always buy a product and then a cooler one comes out or it goes on sale this is a beautiful ato Link to comment
masterbuilder Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Looks promising. Wonder if there is fail-safe protection is provided to prevent an overflow. Link to comment
Egginis Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I am getting one of these for my Nuvo 24 when it comes out next month. Will be sure to give a product review after using it for a while. Link to comment
BeardedReeferLLC Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 I think 300 bucks is a bit steep for a ATO... IMO. Link to comment
Passaggper Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I think 300 bucks is a bit steep for a ATO... IMO. While I agree, there are many hobbyists that would consider this a reasonable price point for an innovative piece of equipment that is vital to their setup. I'm sure they won't have any trouble selling this at that price. Link to comment

jestep Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I can't see the benefit over an Osmolator. Looks a little better, but for for 50% more, or triple the cost if you get a used tunze, it wouldn't be an option for me. My ATO components have always been in a rear chamber or a sump, so aesthetics is pretty low in the ATO requirement chart. Link to comment
just a noob Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 For $70 less you could get a spectrapure litermeter or whatever they're called, and for $100 less you could get a tunze osmolator. Or for $200 you could get a jbj ato. I think they just missed the mark on the price point here. Link to comment
ReviloM Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 it looks promising but I'll let someone else be a guinea pig first. Most new products always have bugs so i dont want to go through that headache. Link to comment

Red_Blenny Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hmm, tempting. Been thinking about getting either a Tunze 3155 or a Specapure UPLC but this piece looks promising... I'm just wondering how safe/reliable the sensors are. I'm also curious if the magnets are strong enough for a tank that is 1/2" thick. Link to comment

I'm getting a tune 3155 got some feedback from the forum members that it is very reliable and this does have a safety float switch as a redundancy and comes with its own pump! Link to comment
PRJ Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I picked up the IM HydroFill set-up for my new 40B. So far, so good. I enjoy the fact that the water-sensing tech (i.e.- graphite tipped conductivity sensors) employs no moving parts. The kit was easy to set up I have no complaints, thus far. Link to comment
ps2cho Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 The amazon reviews are bad....Make sure to keep us updated on it. Link to comment
PRJ Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The amazon reviews are bad....Make sure to keep us updated on it. What do they say? As far as I can tell, the video above is spot-on. Maybe these folks got unlucky and bought a faulty unit or installed it incorrectly. Link to comment
