I've been searching for the most efficient auto top off system around $100. I've come up with these:
TSUNAMI
AUTO TOP OFF.COM
MER MADE
AQUAMEDIC NIVEAUMAT
REEF FANATIC
I'm kinda leaning toward the Reef Fanatic - double switch, or the Niveaumat.

Anybody have any comments or suggestions?

I have the aquamedic and it works very well. It cost around 90 bucks I think from Marine Depot.

I use the autotopoff.com deluxe. Piece of cake to set up. I have it piped to a 5 gal bucket with buffer for my 52 gal, and it lasts about 7 days with our average humidity in the dry side of the NW.

it is a bit more than $100 but the tunze auto top off system is in my opinion the best for the money. Premium Aquatics and Marine Depot both carry it.

ditto to what chads29 said. Get a tunze osmolator and you won't be sorry about wasting your money on something that fails you.

I got the cheaper version of auto topoff.com's with the two valves. Can say I am happy with it thus far, and for the price its very reasonable.

Thanks for your help. I notice the Tunze has add-ons. I'll look at it more closely.

This is an item too often taken for granted. I believe it probably causes more accidents and flooding than people admit. Getting the best one, without spending $300-$400 shouldn't be that difficult.

Thanks again.
