Autotopoff.com

Just got this new auto top off from autotopoff.com, and wow. This thing is great and half the price of others, better yet i was leaving for vacation and they made sure that it got to me in time before i left. I cant say enough good things about the unit or the people at autotopoff.com. If you dont have a top off yet, get your a** over there and get one.

I recently purchased an AutoTopOff.com unit as well, works great so far, very pleased with the investment.

Did you get the 1 for the sump or in tank? I wanted 1 but the in tank float sensors look really big and I don't have a sump

[MetaTank]

I have sump, float sensors are probably 1" wide, not too bad, depending on the size of the tank. It's the snail guard that really adds the bulk.

autotopoff.com is what i use, i have the dual switch just for precaution and i love it, works great

If you click on custom tab. scroll down the page and you'll find one made just for nanos, I have this one in the third chamber of my BC29, works great.

Does their unit come with a pump? If not, could you guys recommend one?

[franklypre]

the pump you use would depend on tank size and how you mount it. They do sell pumps I believe, however they don't come with the ATO

Does yours use the optical sensor listed on that page too?

 

I'm curious if anyone has tried that out, its pricey but a space saver on smaller tanks probably.

I'm thinking about ordering the Nano one and using an aqualifter. I can't imagine I'll need much more then that on an 8 gallon tank.

I was looking at that one too for about an 8g tank, it is $40. The rest of the equipment I would need is the pump, tubing and a container to hold ro/di water correct?

The optical sensor is risky with salt water.

I use an autotopoff and an aqua lifter on my 55 and it works great. I have a JBJ on another tank, I don't like it as well. Get the tubing at lowes for a lot cheaper than at lfs. The container can be anything I use a plastic jar that is food safe on one tank and a 2.5 gallon aquarium on another. I would never think of doing a tank without an ato.

I used to have one from them and it worked great. My tank overflowed and caught the little box on fire so its no good anymore. I think Im going to go with the avast one next time. I currently just have a limewater drip keeping my water level somewhat constant at the same time keeping my dkh and calcium levels up.

Anyone know which 'clip' (plastic piece that holds floats in place) I should get for an Aqueon 40b? Small, medium, large, or Bend my own? I'm not sure if I should be using the glass or the width of the plastic rim as a measuring point...

[St.Pete_Reefer]

I have two on both on my sumps works great.

Autotopoff.com is pretty much the only ATO that hasn't failed me yet.

This is the kind of thing that makes me NOT want to install and ATO... I know that I wont overflow my tank if I do it myself.

 

I do have an auto top off in the works however...
