ATO on a budget

I have to say having dual floats saved me already. I have only had my dual kit from autotopoff.com for a couple months and the main float was stuck down. Keep in mind I tried to clean it every two weeks. So the second float saved me from flooding since I run a MJ400 on a timer, even though it's on a timer it would be able to flood it in 15 minutes. I try to keep my reservoir at about 2-3 gallons at most in the event it does fail.

see, I used a maxijet for a while, but the potential for a flood scared me.. with the tom aqualifter, it's a trickle stream of water..

 

also, I've only cleaned my float maybe twice in the two years I've had it :unsure: if you keep it out of the light it shouldn't grow any algae and in turn shouldn't attract snails..

it's got 2.5/5 stars on amazon. half of the reviews are 1 star, granted there are only a total of 10 reviews...

On drs foster and Smith and marine dept the reviews are far more positive.

I think it may have been early bugs in the unit.. most of those reviews are pretty old and I remember reading them shortly after that ato first came out..
