Auto Top off

What is everyone using for auto-top off? I am looking for something that is reliable and safe.

Links would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Auto Top off

Ther JBJ ATO has two sensors and can be configured in several ways. I have one sensor in the main tank and one in the fresh water reservoir. If the reservoir runs dry the pump will not activate so the pump doesn't run while dry. I paid $80 with shipping.
