Rconde Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hello all I'm looking for a Auto Top for my 29 BC. I've found a tunze 3152 for 100 bucks. Anyone got one or have a recommendation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 It depends on what you want to spend and how complicated you want it to be. I've had an ATO by autotopoff.com going on 5 years that still works flawlessly. It's simple and can be purchased for $35+ depending on how complex you want it. I recently bought a JBJ ATO link for about $70. It's pretty, and fancy, but has some features that aren't documented that i don't like (ex. by default it automatically shuts off after 5 mins even if your desired water level has not been reached) What features are you looking for?

jestep Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 If you can find one, I would go with a normal tunze osmolator. Hands down my favorite ATO. The dual sensors work great and it has a pump included unlike the JBJ and most other ATO's. We have a nano on a 20 gallon and it has a hard time keeping up because Tunze designed them with a limited topoff time as a safety precaution. Apart from that, I've gotten 3 normal osmolators for $75 - $100, no way I would pay $100 for a nano even if it was new. Just the removal of the optical sensor makes it a $50 ATO at best IMO.
