Howdy Folks,
My name is John and my 46 gallon bowfront reef has been wet and running for 7 months now. I'm still getting it together as far as my equipment and maintenance is concerned. I am using a DIY overflow and 10 gal DIY sump. SCA 301 skimmer, eheim 568 gph return pump, jebao RW 8, 2 koralia nano 425 gph, purigen and activated carbon in high flow areas of the sump, and current USA LEDs for lighting. I do a 4 gal/week water change with Reef Crystals as well. I am currently in the market for an ATO and would like to know everyone's opinion of what is the best bang for your buck in the ATO department. I have looked hard at the Tunze Osmolator 3155, Tunze nano, Hydor, and JBJ. From all the customer reviews I have read and viewed on youtube, I think I'm 90% settled on the Tunze 3155.

Any other suggestions or tips for setting this ATO up would be appreciated
 
Welcome to r2r!

I love my tunze 3155 top off. Been in service for 4 years no issues
 
Welcome to R2R;)
 
Lubbock, TX. I don't know how to edit my profile info yet... LOL. Now that I am looking at the avast unit, it seems pretty solid competition for the 3155.
