I used the Pacific Sun Sentry ATO with solenoid valve.
They also come with a pump in another version.
Good equipment.

I’ve been running the Auto Aqua Micro ATO for a year and a half now with no issues. Never ran a Tunze ATO but have always read rave reviews.
My only issue with it was the noise the pump made when it was new. It had a loud whine that I could hear across the room - and I don't hear that well. It has quieted down a lot over the last year that I have had it running though.

You must have gotten a bad pump Gary, lol. Mine is silent. And I just set up another on my wifes nano. It’s also silent.

Love the Tunze Osmolator 3155. Optical sensor, but the redundant float switch is what saved my hardwood floors.

For 12 years on my 140, I used a Reef Fanatic Level Controller with two Aqualifter pumps (both pumped at the same time for redundancy). It worked flawlessly for all that time. I bought the Tunze when I first started acquiring equipment for this tank and now have it on a holding tank for the few fish that were left from the old tank.

I have this too on my 37g. No issues for 1.5yrs. Just had to replace the sensor last week though.

As usual, life had different plans for me this week. Haven’t had time to even think about the tank.

A trip to the emergency room on Friday with my mother. She is doing better now, but I am caring for her at my house for the time being.

So, the tank sits dusty in the corner while I tend to other, more important things. One of these days ...

Sorry to hear. Sending well wishes your way for everybody.

I don’t know if this is funny or sad, but I may be the record holder for curing rock. The date on the lid was the date I did the last water change on the rock (3 in total). The rock went in the water in May of 2015. :( Pretty sure there are no pests though.
