I have had my share of reef aquariums and because of that I have had my share of reef aquarium mishaps. The system before my current system was a 16 gallon Nuvo. I was asleep one night 4 or 5 years ago, with the Nuvo on a stand next to my bed. I woke up to the sound of rushing water, my tank was overflowing. The ATO engaged and never disengaged. I blame a magnet from a frag rack being the cause of the of this, as my nano ATO from ATO.com worked fine before I added the rack but I can't be sure.
My current reef is much larger, as it now a Nuvo 20 and I top off by hand 2-4 times a day. I want an ATO, but I don't want to stress over it. I also don't want to spend the money on an Apex as a failsafe. I almost feel irrational and I am wondering your thoughts.
