I'm new to the form and looking for a good plug and play auto top off system. The lfs has the Tsumani at1, looks cheap. Any buddy out there have any suggestion? Also looking for something not to pricey, my 120 gal tank is getting a little out of hand dollar wise.

Welcome to the site!
The JBJ ATO is around $75.00 to $99.00 depending on if it is on sale, it works great. There are chaper ones and home made types.
We use the Tsunamis, and they work great. I prefer them to the float valve type of ATO, as I've had the switches go bad, but the Tsunamis just keep on working, and have done so for a good 10 years or so.
Thanks for the info, i did get one of the tsunamis that is the only kind I could find in short notice. I'm going out of town this weekend and did not want the person watching the house to have to worry about filling the tank. It seems to be working but the water level in the sum has to lower alot before the pump comes on. It may work better on my 90gal fish only with a smaller sump and maybe when I get a chance I'll look into the JBJ ATO system for the 120gal.
