auto top-off recommendations?

Anyone recommend a good auto top off system?

Was looking at the JBJ ATO, but haven't found any reviews (good or bad).

What do you use?

50 gallon RODI water storage tank feeds Nilsen Reactor; Reactor (higher than sump) feeds standard medical IV drip. Evap rate about 2.5 to 3 gal./day.

Elevated RO/DI storage tank, gravity fill through Kent float valve in the return compartment of the sump. This setup has the minimum number of moving parts.

I just hooked up a reef fanatic level controller on my 90 and works wonderful.

Easy to setup and use.
