Biocube ato question

Tgreen182 · 10/24/2015, 05:46 PM

I'm in need of an ato, can't decide between a Tunze, JBJ, or Hydor. They all have good reviews bad reviews and are all in a similar price range. What's your experience?!

I use Tunze ATO's bulletproof. An great product support. Always easy to get parts if you need one. I have Tunze pumps 30 years old that still pump water.

I like that the Tunze comes with a pump and hose line, anyone here use the Hydor?

Tunze Nano for the win. Be careful that your hose doesn't extend too far into the back chamber. Shut off your pumps and make sure the water level doesn't reach the ATO hose, or else it can siphon tank water into your ATO jug, and eventually onto your carpet.

Ask me how I know...

yep.. I made the same mistake with the hose being submerged.. lucky I caught my mistake before anything bad happened.

But yeah, Tunze 3155 for the win. I've had mine for about 10-11 months, and it has worked totally flawlessly. I love it.
