ATO recommendations

[Joel Armstrong]

I think I may need to invest in an ATO.

I am not sure what brands are good, or if there are any brands to stay away from.

I'd like to here people's suggestions.

I won't be able to fit it in my cabinet, (which is black aluminium), so something that looks good to suit would be advantageous.

Quality is important to me also.

Cheers

I've had a Tunze Osmolator ATO for 8 years and it's been rock solid and would certainly recommend it

And it looks like Tunze just came out with new version

This is the one I use. It's pricey but the quality is there.

I wanted it not to leak and look good against my black cabinet.

I currently use smart auto aqua AWC. It's a lot more expensive than when I bought it several years ago. It comes with auto water change software but I haven't messed with it, I just use the ATO function. I think they have a cheaper one with just the ATO function
Can't complain.

So I should read more carefully. Sorry @Joel Armstrong. I see you said ATO not reservoir. I use the Tunze Osmolator and have never had an issue. I think it's the best.

Ah I see! I thought they may have both come as a package

So I need to purchase both, a reservoir and an ATO

I've read a couple reviews, the tunze osmolator seems popular and the most recommended, I see a couple people complaining about the pump noise... how do you find the pump?

Loud but I'm OK with that. I don't sleep next to the tank and I prioritize reliability over sound.
