What ATO you use?

What ATO system do you use? I need to buy one and would rather get a quality system. I'd appreciate some pics too if you got em

I use a JBJ ATO. It's been working fine for about 4 years now.

Did all the necessary components to hook it up come with the controller? Been wondering about the JBJ.

Has anyone used the reefkeeper lite ATO system? I ordered the keeper itself but wasnt sure if I needed any additional modules to run the ATO or if it was worth having. Haven't heard much on it at all.

I used to use a JBJ ATO. Then I started having a problem with it needing reset all the time. I had the timer set to the max. Now I use a ATO from Bulk Reef Supply. It is going to an aqulifter pump. I have a 120 gallon tank with around 1 1/2 to 2 gallons a day of evaporation. I have Mrs. Wages mixed with my top off water and this has been going over 1 year with no problems.
