Alright, My Picotope is losing to much water per-day, i make sure to top it off before work and before bed, its just a pain (which i planned on it being) So i figured i might as well get started with my ATO, at first i was going to go with a DIY ATO but having a spliced power cord around the house with a baby that is about to crawl doesn't seem like the best idea anymore.

I visited Kodys house and he showed me his Reefkeeper2 but after looking them up i noticed they are discontinued, anyone have any good advice on a controller/ato that would be perfect for my 3g picotope?

How close are your two aquariums?  You could a single controller could run both aquariums.

Did you have to splice the power cord in order to get it to work?
