ATO Question

I have been looking into getting an ATO system for my tank. I have heard only good things about the tunze osmolator. I plan on getting it from here, http://www.reefexotics.com/topoff.htm I just have a few questions before I spend that kind of money. My first is, does it come with everything you need or do I have to buy other stuff for it to actually work like a pump? (I know I need a container but besides that) Also has anyone heard a problem with it failing and the tank overflowing? I want to connect it to a big tank but if it might overflow I should probably put it in a smaller one. If there is no chance of failure, can I hook it up directly to my RO/DI? I appreciate any and all input or info on this product. Thanks

Yes, it comes with everything you need to hook it up and run it. It has a small pump that you place in your topoff reservoir of RO/DI water. It has many failsafes in it to avoid any problems with overflowing anything. Mine is in the 30g sump hooked to my 120g diplay tank. I have not seen it do anything but function flawlessly thus far.

I forgot to ask, is it pretty easy to set up? Also, I just wanted to share my plan and make sure I am thinking about this correctly. I have a 65g tank with a 29g sump in the stand below. I plan on getting a reservoir tank and putting it in the room behind my tank. I will feed the sump with the fw coming from the reservoir. Thanks for looking and I appreciate any more info or experiences wih this porduct.
