ATO question
So currently I don't have a sump set up and I want to get an ATO. Do I have to have a sump to run it or can I set it up right on my DT? Thanks

you can put it right in your display. Just a few more hoses that don't look the best, but it will do exactly what you would do by hand anyway. It doesn't matter where the fresh water is added, as long as it's not being dumped right on a coral or something else that would be sensitive to it.

I had a Tunze Osomolator ATO running directly into my 20l nano, and it worked great. Things do start to get cluttered without a sump.

Been looking at the different models and now just deciding between the TUNZE and the JBJ what one you guys think and why? Thanks

Each one of them are probably very good, I have no experience with the JBJ, But the tunze has worked out well. It is a set it and forget it unit and keeps your specific gravity set.
