    Looking for a DIY solution? You could get most of the parts new for that level of setup for about $55 from BRS. That would include the pump. Not the fanciest, but you are a man looking for low cost options, so this would be one of them.

    They don't normally come with pumps for that price. You get the floats, but not the pumps. I have one I will be selling soon! I would go $40 with out Pump. Its a DIY! Relay controlled so its low voltage going in to sump. It work using a 5 gal bucket as the R/O holding tank. It will not pump with holding tank is too low and it will work again when you fill holding tank. Its slow drip using my Aqualifter pump so you get good even water drip at a time and not gallons at a time.

    Let me know

    A 10g tank fits perfect in the stand. Still not 100% im gonna sump it. I was thinking of making it a r/o holding tank. Would that work?

    $40 for the kit, $16 for the pump, plus a power cord I guess for another $2. $58. Pretty close to my $55 estimate, but I guess I did forget about shipping. Maybe thrown in a RO/DI unit (hint, hint, wink, wink) and get free shipping. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    Hey,

    Just wanted to through my two cents in here. The JBJ Auto Top I had used in the past. I got it, it broke... Bottom line is that I returned it got a new one 4 times and then finally said enough is enough and got my money back.

    The last one I bought was from autotopoff.com

    It works great. Just thought you might like to know. Glad to see that you are getting everything you need to keep a tank!!!!!!
