    check aquahub.com they are inexpensive and works well.
    JBJ and Tunze are very well known to perform great

    I'm wondering out of curiosity what your not considering a gravity fed ATo? The kit is like $20, 5gal home depot bucket for $3? Seems pretty fail-safe to me.

    Anyone have the Reef Fanatic ATO system? It is $5 more than the JBJ, and looks more "professional" if you will.

    I got mine from autotopoff.com and its been perfect.
    I have the one with 2 float switches for backup and I also hooked it up to my Apex and have it controlled in a way that it only comes on for 20 seconds every 4 hours.

    Once you have it tuned in like that there is no failure.
    The float switches will shut the pump off and the Apex controls it so if anything gets stuck its only for 20 seconds every 4 hours.

    I am very happy with this setup.
