Hey guys, any sugestions for cheap Auto top off systems? I don't want to spend more then 100 dollars on a system.

Tanks.
 
Tunze makes one for $100 I think
 
I have the Tunze 3155 on one tank and JBJ ATO on another. I have had zero issues with the JBJ and a few with the Tunze. JBJ can be had for less than $100.
 
I have been using the Coral Box Nano ATO for a few months now with no issues. I think I paid $45 for it from reefbreeders.
 
gravity feed a float valve will get you in business for about $20. just clean any salt creep off it every now and again.
 
Buy a used ATO in good condition!

This. I got a used jbj ato for $20. Spliced an second sensor in for redundancy as well as dry run protection all for $35. The soild state components should last indefinitely unless they are dropped in saltwater or something.

Thats what I use. I have a 5 gallon bucket near the ceiling and it gravity feeds to the float valve on the tank.
