Deal or no Deal

I have the opportunity to buy a used Tunze osmolator about 2years old or a new JBJ ATO. Which should I go with? Also apex lite or reefkeeper lite plus?
 
Make sure it is the newer one. I've read the older style that used the brackets is a PITA. The newer style with the magnet mount that holds the float switch should be much better. But either way, I vote for the osmolator. I've been looking for one myself.
 
i have the JBJ ato with brackets. magnets would be a lot nicer, but it still works pretty well. and im not sure if those controllers have an ATO option, if so i would go that way for the most control. This way you can shut off pumps if water gets too low and not have to worry about burning them out.
 
I've never had a JBJ but I love my Tunze ATO.

+1. I have two of them - one for each of my tanks. Never had one get stuck, never had a tank run out of water - been on vacation many many times and always had peace of mind.

Service is flawless if you ever have a problem or need help - Roger @Tunze in Austin TX is the man.
