WTB: auto top off

[polarbear]

Been looking at getting one of these. If you have one for sell please let me know. Thanks.

Marine Depot has the JBJ at 40% off until tomorrow. Mine gets here. Wednesday. :)

[polarbear]

is it the one for $99

[Scutterborn]

is it the one for $99

Yes. It has a coupon code under the price on the page that'll knock off 40%. That's a good deal. I run a JBJ on the 185 and a Tunze on the nano.

Have you had any problems with the JBJ getting stuck on? I was looking at the tunze one because of this problem.

Not yet. I know it can be a problem with these types of float switches. I keep an eye on it and clean it every couple of months( if I remember ).

The Tunze is awesome. The only problem was that I couldn't keep up with my daily top offs. I go through about 2.5g a day in the summer.

Can the JBJ be hooked up to a reef keeper? I'm getting a reef keeper plus and they have those ports where you can add a top off. Can this be done with this one?

[Scutterborn]

I don't believe so. Those ports may be for wiring in float switches. I've not owned a RK controller. The JBJ ATO is self contained.

Thanks. I'm going to post a thread asking that question. I would rather just buy the float and add it to the reef keeper the buy the whole thing.

As would I. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

FWIW, I run a Tunze and have for years. I have and Apex as well. The Tunze is hooked up to the Apex for simple on/off functions but it takes care if the top off. It works great and I like it having a "brain" separate from my controller.
