    Bought an ato from fishy business. Best thing ever! Water stays perfect level. Should have done this along time ago! Within less than a 1/4 inch sensor levels. They had a great idea of using a pill bottle(works great and can unscrew it easily), drilling some holes, putting the float valve, and attaching with bracket. :cheesy:

    My ato pics

    Sorry pics are not the clearest, but its hard to get a camera in small quarters!. The bottle is attached to the bracket that sits inside return area. Connected to a "Tom" water lifter. Attached a 3 gal. storage container with the other end empting also into the return area. Have to refill once every 5-7 days. Works great.
