I need an auto top off. I was looking at a few of the float swiches on aquahub.com but I DO NOT want to do any DIY-ing. Any Ideas on where I could get a float swich where you dont have to do any wireing. I already have the pump (aqualifter).

marine depot has floats that are plug and play but there around $70. i just ordered mine from aquahub to save cost.

they work well a friend of mine has them here is the link Click here (http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idProduct=UL1111)

I used to use the Tunze (http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_dosing_pumps_top_off_tunze_osmolator.asp? CartId=) auto top-off and was quite happy with it. It's pretty easy to set up.

Ouch the Tunze setup isn't so easy on the wallet. I think I am just going to let gravity do it's thing.

I just picked up the JBJ auto top off on eBay for about $90 shipped. I haven't installed it yet, but it appears to be well built and easy enough to use.

bernie,
is the JBJ ATO a complete top off unit, i mean do you need to add anything besides a pump?

Well guys and gals, I installed it tonight. Works like a charm, so far so good atleast... :D

Rob to answer your question, the only things you have to add are a bucket, pipe to get the water to the tank, and a pump. The kit comes with the controller, two float switches and all the hangy thingies so you dont have to use suction cups...

awesome bernie, thanks for the info..
im sure Vanmo (and others) will find it very helpful

I ordered the ifloat float switch from aqua hub. I also ordered the mold-a-holder for it.

cool... let us know how everything works out when you get it all set up...
