Your APEX is your best ATO JR. We can set it up together. You just need to grab some floats. I run three double floats, low, normal and high. That enables all kinds of conditions to check and redundancies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 AutoTopoff makes some nice ones that are ready to hook up to APEX with the breakout box: http://autotopoff.com/Floatswitches/index.html I like the dual on this site for my mid switch, its quick and easy to wire up. The lower float controls the ATO pump, the upper float triggers alarm and shuts off ATO. You can also buy these straight from amazon but autotopoff is a great site and Amazon is like 8 days in our area right now to deliver <GASP> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Then you need a topoff pump. If your RODI is near the sump, simple aqualifters work great. Slow and reliable. I use a peristaltic down in the garage to pump up to my office, this one: https://www.amazon.com/Dc12v-Peristaltic-Dosing-Tygon-Deliver/dp/B00S0FVFC4/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Peristaltic+dosing+Pump+tygon&qid=1630988084&s=pet-supplies&sr=1-3 It's noisy but in the garage.

TheClark Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 For a more plug and play solution, APEX has the ATK, which will integrate beautifully with your system and has everything: https://www.neptunesystems.com/products/expansion-modules/atk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ReefBox Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hey jr. tried true and tested. The Tunze osmolator. 3155. Cannot go wrong works flawlessly. The Newest version of the Neptune ATK is slick too. I just got one and will be using on new 400 gal set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandVib3s Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I just got this and its been pretty good,no complaints. And you don't need to worry about a float getting stuck or not having the space for one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
