HYDROS Triple Optical ATO Kit - Hydros

[danreef55]

Can anyone give me feedback on this unit. I was considering the Osmolator 3 ATO but there is a considerable price difference plus plug and play with Hydros. Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you and happy reefing

i know the tunze is a standalone system, for the hydros u need to already have one of the controller pieces that has a drive and sense port to run the sensor and pump

I run it, using a red sea reefcan as an ATO reservoir. Haven't had any issues that weren't self induced.

Added a water level sensor to the reservoir, so I get alerted if it gets low, and the ATO is dependent on the sensor being wet to operate.

I don't use the triple level sensor but utilize 2 regular sensors for my ato systems (because it didnt exist when i bought my hydros gear)
Being able to free up a sense port for something else is a huge benefit and with how the controller can set up failsafes, I wouldnt hesitate to use it over a tunze due to modularity and ease of control.

I have a Tripple Sensor ATO on one of my tanks and on the other I setup ATO using the individual Hydros Single Sensors plus pumps. Both systems work great but I do like the triple sensor.
