Hey all,

I'm finishing up my flooring to re-install my 92corner. I have gotten or have decided on most of my upgrades, except deciding on an ATO system. I am looking for input on good ATO pumps/systems for use with Kalk. I have a Skimz sump with a built in ATO container & plan on running Kalk when the time comes. I do have a RKL & a float ect. to install the single set up, I can run with the RKL but would upgrade to a duel float. I do like the idea of running other styles of sensors along with a float. Mainly looking for ideas for pumps with Kalk, ie. impeller Vs. peristaltic.
Systems I like the thoughts on. Tunze, Spectrapure, Avast, RKL(with quality sensors & pump)
Thanks for any input

I guess to clarify...I've heard or seen reviews that some pumps do not handle or last when using Kalk.
I'd like to use a pump that will last or is inexpensive enough to replace/spare as needed.

Spectrapure.....all day long. their pumps have a 5 year warranty. even after the warranty period, they will still help you with any issues. I use their atos on all my tanks because I got tired of replacing cheap pumps from tunze and junk atos like jbj. Spectrspure's peristaltic pumps are also the most quiet I've used.
