14 Gal biocube ATO

[Custom05Taco]

I want to get a Auto Top Off on my biocube I plan on using a 2.5 gal tank as the reservoir. Was looking into this website any ideas suggestions. Do you think something like this could work in the back chamber?

With a biocube you'll probably be better off using a gravity feed ato. easier to use and will not use up any space in your tank. I do not know how you would be able to fit in the float valve without it taking up one of your chambers.

I have a good amount of room in my left chamber with the return pump

Take a look at one of these kits, should fit in the chamber. Just add an Aqualifter pump.

I'm using auto top off on my 90 gal. Works great for me all you need is a pump.

I just bought a JBJ. It hasn't arrived yet but the reviews I read were almost all positive.

If you're looking for a stand alone ATO, its really between that, the Tunze, and the Reef Fanatic (but I don't like the suction cups... What an awful idea that is).

The ATO.com relay is LOUD and I had trouble with it after about a year.
The Avast unit is a pressure sensor but died after only a few months.

My problem is the size of the float switch. I'm thinking of going with ATO.com's because the float switch looks small compared to the rest. The relay issue I might use an MR-201 relay its a lot quieter and more advanced then the cube relay.

If you put the included snail guards on there, the float switch assembly is actually pretty big on the ATO.com units.

I don't know if I need them because it will be in the rear chamber. do I really need the snail guard?

Can an Aqualifter pump reach from the bottom of my stamd to the top of my tank?

Can an Aqualifter pump reach from the bottom of my stand to the top of my tank? Should I use a different kind of pump?
