Biocube and Auto top off's.....

Looking to buy an ATO for my BC 29 HQI. Was hoping anyone who has one could give me some ideas, tips etc before I make my purchase. Was going to go with the Tunze 3155 but not sure I could fit it into the third chamber. Thx for any answers.

The JBJ ATO would definately fit. The sensor is no bigger than 2 inches by 1 inch

Just got the Tunze 3155 this week. Works great. The sensors are very small and they sit on a flat magnet that holds them on. I've got a 16gallon Nuvo and it fits fine back there with room to spare. Maybe 1 and 1/2 to 2 inches wide total? Twice the price of the JBJ, but I think it was worth it. Has 2 sensors, optical as well as mechanical. I think the JBJ is just mechanical?

Yes the JBJ is just mechanical. Also comes with 2 sensors. But I have had mine for 6 months and ran flawlessly. Save the $100 and spend it on some corals or fish

Intank has a whole JBJ setup all you need is the reservoir. Works great

Have you thought about anything from autotopoff dot com?

I've had mine for about two years. Works great.

I looked at that site but to be honest it was a little confusing. I wasn't sure exactly what I would need for my tank. Maybe I should take another look.
