I am using the innovative marine titanium ato.

Have not had any issues, but only been running a few months. Same price point as jbj but no moving parts.

Before that used coral box ato, dont buy that one. The infrared sensor stopped after 2 years and they didnt sell replacements.
 
Its really easy. I bought the plastic container with lid on Walmart for $6 and the quick connect fittings on Amazon for about $7. The float valve is Eshopps’s for $17 on Ebay but you can use any other model probably cheaper.

Could you please make a picture of the system? I would like to built one based on gravity too.
 
Also, make sure that the ATO reservoir is seating higher than the float valve.
 
Made a decision with the smart ato micro

Kicked on as soon as I plugged in.

I think this will do me just fine.
 
I run 2 micros and a jbj. Do that I would trust anything diy if vacation is coming up.
