ATO question

So I got a 28 gal jbj, figured out from the help from you guys I can fit a 2.5 gal tank in my stand for my reservoir. I never used an ATO I found this one on marine depot, is it worth it? http://www.marinedepot.com/Buy_a_JBJ...DPETPU-vi.html

Or should I get something like this?

(Not too worried about price tag rather buy it right once)

Get the Tunze, they are next to none for quality and reliability

I had the JBJ for awhile. The float got stuck a couple times causing issues. I now run the Tunze osmolator with zero problems with it in a year or so it has been running.

I was reading the information on the tunze, so it comes with everything I need and no need to purchase anything else. Is it also easy to set up?

Mine was ready to go out of the box. It had the pump, tubing, switches and controller. If I recall correctly it took me no more than 30 minutes to set it up.

+1 on the tunze the only thing I had to do when I got mine was open the box and adjust the aquarium size to small.

very straight forward and it only take 10 mins at most to setup. Had mine on my tank for 3 yrs in May without any problems
