shan Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Just a comment I purchased a dual sensor ATO from autotopoff.com last week. Installed it over the weekend on my 34g Solana! Absolutely awesome!!! Was actually quite easy to put together and install. Works like a charm! Highly recommend the product! Link to comment
organism Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 +1, I love that thing, plus their double float valves saved my tanks on a ton of occasions. As soon as I get a new system put together I'm getting another one Link to comment

As soon as I get a new system put together I'm getting another one I am curious a bout the double float though. I set mine as close to the first float as possible. BUt it likes there would be quite alot of r/o water added to my tank before that second float would turn off. I would estimate 1-2 gallon or so of r/o in a 34g solana. Would that be enough to cause a major salinity problem? Link to comment

It's probably a lot less water than you think if you've got it in the back compartment, most likely in the neighborhood of a liter at most. Link to comment
