Sorry I know this has most likely been asked and discussed hundreds of times....I have searched the web and the forum and have just become more confused....

I have a 65g display, with a 55 sump.....and plenty of room for an RO water storage container......

Now I want to incorporate an ATO system but don't know which one to use......I do not mind spending a little money but don't want to spend $200 when I could get the same parts and put it together myself for half the cost....

I would say this  http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/tunze-3155-osmolator-universal-auto-top-off.html would be the top of what I would spend and would rather be much less than that!

What can everyone suggest as a complete system......

THANKS!

Would I be better off to just have a float valve in my sump and gravity feed RO water from and elevated tank??? Seems easy and safe?????

That's what I would do. Simple float on a hanging bracket. I like the eshopps brand myself.

I have been doing this for 10 years. Have a similar plan for the new tank as well.

I've used these on my last couple tanks, and have had no problems. Inexpensive, and simple.
