    I have the tunze ATO and love it. It comes down to personal choice. But whatever ATO you use they are a must have in my opinion. Manual top offs are a pain in the @&^.

    Well I did find a 20 gallon Brute can I might be able to convince the significant other to have sit next to the tank. I would obvious use the justification that I would have to fill less RO/DI containers, which always overflow at least a cup before I catch them. Hmm...

    Talked it out and decided to go with the Tunze Osmolator Universal 3155 Auto Top Off. I'm also looking at a 20 gallon Brute can that I should be able to fill two to three time a month with RO/DI. I'll end up hooking it up along side the tank. In the mean time, I have some 7 gallon jugs that'll work.

    You might compare that Tunze to the UPLC-II side by side. I think you will be surprised. The UPLC offers many features the Tunze does not plus is much more compact inside the tank for a better look.

    It's already purchased. Also, it'll be in the sump in my stand.
