@saltyfilmfolks i have made a simple ato that i will try later. Its an empty kalkwasser container that i drilled a hole in, put some airline tubing in, and siliconed. I plan on setting the jug on my tanks rim, and against the wall, it should stay put there easily. Ill clip the airline tubing exactly at my desired waterline, and it should only flow as the water evaporates, right?

I don't have experience with this, and i hope it works for you, but I believe you'll want to make sure the lid on your container is air tight. If air can get in the container above the water then I think it might just drain out. I think it needs to be sealed so the only air that can get it and drain the water is through the tube. I could be wrong, but I'd test it out first before putting it on the tank.
