My Tank Thread
Good call. I have the eshopps M on my 40b, it’s great. I would do the Tunze ATO over the apex one, more reliable and doesn’t need an apex. I have one for both my tanks. It’s a little pricy upfront but I’ve had zero issues.
Do you know if there's an issue with doing a larger overflow than required?
This was the apex ATO I was looking at: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/atk-v2-auto-top-off-kit-neptune-systems.html. It is stand alone. They say they recommend the Tunze too. I know I want to get one of the tridents, so I will need an Apex controller at some point. Is there a benefit in staying within the same brand line or will it not matter?
Since we're talking about pumps, are there any return pumps you'd recommend? I know there are some that do some cool things with simulating storms and stuff, but I don't know if those things are just gimmicks or useful.
