Auto Top-Off (ATO)

A float-sensor system that automatically replenishes evaporated water - keeps salinity stable in reef aquariums.

Price: Mid For: Saltwater $30-$300

📖 Overview

As saltwater evaporates, salt stays behind and salinity rises. Manual top-offs are error-prone (fluctuations of a few thousandths of specific gravity stress corals). An ATO senses the water level and adds RODI water automatically - keeping salinity dead stable 24/7.
