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
 
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

Cheers

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.
