    For those of you who use a JBJ ATO , what kind of pump are you using and what kinda tubing are you using as well.  I had mine hooked up to a Rio pump and it was too much.  So then Ive been trying an aqua lifter and it sucks.  I need something in the middle.

    I use this tunze pump and refrigerator ice maker water line works perfect. The pump is 12 volt so you have to use a adapter in order to get the volts down. Also this pump is like a minuture sump pump and is a little noisy so it depends were your evap tank is I have my Evap. tank with RO water in basement and it pumps it up to first floor with no problems.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Ya the Tunze pumps used on their ATO are amazing. Not sure what they are rated at but they move some water.

    I use this minijet:  http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewI...(82-153gph)
    Works great for me but I have a 210 gallon tank so it may be too much for a small tank (not sure what size your's is).  I wish I had the space for a larger top off (this lasts 6-7 days) but had to be able to stuff everything under the stand!
