Smart ATO Micro worth the cash!?

[CinnamonTorch]

Is the Smart ATO micro worth 175$ CAD? 

 

I'm running a nuvo 10 and i'm finding it very hard to fit another ato..

 

so i found this one, i read great reviews, but i wanted to know if anyone here can share their experience with me.

 

this will be my first Ato, is it hard to use? Does it make a lot of noise? (My tank is right next to my bed)

 

and is it worth getting for the long run?

 

thanks again

Definitely worth the 125$ I spent.  An extra 50$ Canadian isn't too bad, you were only going to get poutine with it anyways.  It is a bit loud when it pumps but is silent 99% of the time.  Mine is almost 2 years old and still working great, never floods and senses when the reservoir is empty and self shuts off as to not damage the pump.  You won't regret the purchase.

+1 to what GraniteReefer said.  I have 2, one for my main display and one on my anemone prop tank...both have worked flawlessly.

I like mine, just hate the alarm.

I'm using one on my Spec V, and I really like it. It was the only ato that would fit inside the pump chamber. That said, when I had an IM 10, I was able to use a tunze 3152 nano top off in one of the chambers, which I think is a bit cheaper. It also worked well.

Worth every penny. I own 2 of them. One on my IM25 and other one on my IM10

Easy to use, Fits in even a pico, senor in on inside so it doesn't care if the wall is painted black.

worth every penny to me.
