Does anybody here have recommendations for what kind of ATO is best for a ten gallon FOWLR tank?
 
Osmolater nano is garbage.

I've had good luck with a Kamoer ATO One 2 on a timer outlet. I give it 3 one minute opportunities to run in a 24hr period.

I've done the same thing with a reefbreeders prism. It also workes fine.

I prefer the Kamoer over the reefbreeders. Because of the smaller sensor there is way less evaporation and more stable salinity.
 
I recommend XPA Duetto2. High durability and high quality of optical sensor
 
Any "nano" ATO will do, there are several good options. I've also tried the bottle ATO, which does work, but basically its only good for 1.5 days, not even a full weekend. Might as well spend the difference between the bottle ATO and a proper ATO and save yourself the hassle of refiling the bottle every 2 days.
 
I have the tunze nano osmolator for a 20 gallon and it works amazing!
