    An ATO is my friend.

    That will probably be my next project. Any tips on a good, cheap, easy ATO or one that I can do myself? This will be my first go round with one.

    this is what I use.

    AutoTopoff.com

    It has performed flawlessly for 3 years now.

    There are more expensive versions out there, and the Tunze is supposed to the one of, if not, the best out there.

    I just use a float switch and an aqua-lifter.

    A little update:

    Got my ATO and RO/DI set up and running great! Makes it a lot easier to keep up on evaporation. It is also much nicer to have water available whenever I need it instead of having to travel to the LFS to get it!

    I'm unsure where to go with my next equipment purchase/upgrade. Anyone have any ideas?

    Picture updates to come soon!
