Good Afternoon, my local fish store guy suggested the Icecap EZ Auto Top Off system for my 32 gallon Biocube. I am wondering if anyone has any concerns with this system before I install it. Thank you!
 
I have several of these on one of my home tanks and some of our office tanks. They work great and are very reasonably priced. The only issue I have had is that they do have a greater water level variation than other ATOs. The Unit has 3 water level sensors and it normally turns on when the lowest sensor is dry and then turns off when the middle sensor is wet. (Top sensor is just for emergencies.) This means you get about a 3/8in water level variation, which is enough to mess up some of the nano skimmers I have tried. If you move the skimmer out of the return chamber in your AIO or sump, then there isn't any problem.

Thank you! I feel a lot better.
