    Actually realized i have another sump that is between 10-15g. Looking to have a larger sump on my 150g since i already have to build a stand and get all the equipment.

    Also have 2 hob overflows and an ato thing i could sell or trade. One hob overflow new in box, the other isnt. Ato is new in bag, would keep but never setup a tank before and dont wanna mess with adding more plumbing

    I would keep Auto topoff it is an important piece of equipment it makes life easier. They are very easy to hook up and install

    a top off can be a 5 gallon bucket or anything to hold your ro/di water to replace tank water that evaporates. Nothing to really plumb , float switches a small pump to pump water from bucket and some ro tubing.

    Don't let the ATO go you'll regret it! Worse case scenario I'm sure one of us local could stop by and show you how to set it up.
