    Welcome to 3reef, from another Gators fan (not the only team I like, though) :) The tank looks great.

    Opinions needed:

    I am looking into a ATO for my tank now. Tired of every other day top off. Yes I am wanting to be lazy . Lol
    But seriously , I am wondering if I should go Tunze Nano osmolator 3152 or Tunze 3155 ..... Or invest in a Digital aquatics RKL basic or plus?

    I can buy right now the 100.00 tunze nano, or the 190.00 tunze 3155 , and or the RKL basic 105.00 or RKL + for 250.00
    But not sure of the difference in the controllers and if I still wi need to add to to the controller for ATO and how that works.

    Thanks for your input and help.
    Chris

    None of those.

    Get http://autotopoff.com/products/DS1/ and then buy one of their solenoid valves and hook rodi directly to the ato. Also make sure you have the auto shut off valve for the rodi unit itself and check valve

    This is what I use and have had 0 problems. It came with my tank when I bought it used l.

    Pulled the plug, and ordered a jbj on sale at BRS for 71.00 and a 5.00 off coupon via email on my group buy. I also went with the apex lite. From a new local business that just started , saved 30.00. On the apex lite and ph probe. Enough money spent for a while. Got to save for my WP-25's when Jebo has them...

    You have a nice looking tank! I am still waiting for the wp-25's to come out too, I really want to see how they turn out. The 40s are having good reviews so far, but they have way to much flow for my 29! Last i heard was that the pumps were coming out late april or early may

    Thanks fellow reefers... I got a friend on RC and he bought just one. Wp40 and he bought a AC/DC volt converter power supply on amazon for 14 bux to Knock the voltage down from 24 to 15 and he said he was glad he did on his 96 gallon. I asked him for kicks and giggles 1 for my 40 the same way. His reply was only if you want half of your tank out in the floor. Lol

    I also have a 40 breeder I use for growing mother colonies at my "warehouse" :). I love the footprint because it allows for good coral spacing, and good area for me to work :).

    your tank is very cool and has a lot of high tech gadgets !!
