Anyone use this or have another suggestion?

TIA,

You could make one for a lot less money. Probably some instructions in the DIY forum.

I've not used that one. This thead might help you, but I'm not sure if there is mention of that one:

I use the Tunze Osmolator. I have been very happy with it although it is not inexpensive.

Ugh, nothing's easy in this hobby. I guess for ease, I'll probably go with the Osmolator.

Thanks all.

BTW, Marine Depot is running free shipping on orders of over $175.

TOOFLY. I have been using that ATO for almost a year now and I am very happy with it. The cheapest I've seen it is $79.99 (usually goes for $99.99). It has dual float valves and also has a fail safe circuit that won't let the unit run for more than 3.5 minutes. All you need to add is the pump and tubing. Sets up very easily. Whichever direction you go in, I highly recommend some type of ATO as it is one less thing to think about with maintaining the reef. Good luck with this and let us know what yopu ended up doing.

I've used the tunze for a long time now and love it.

I'd need a pump with the ATO. What do you use besl?

Marine Depot sells the ATO for $85.00. I was going to get a lone Tunze 6000 for my 58 too. Anyone know if the 7095 is ok to control just one 6000? I figure I may as well get the 7095 in case I upgrade in tank size in a year or two and need a second 6000.

I wanna be certain about the Osmolator, it's virtually plug n' play?

Sorry for all the questions. I could go off on multiple tangents with questions, especially on the phone. Just ask Mark55 (sorry Mark ).
