I use a Litermeter3 fro my top off, but NaH2O has a Tunze Osmolator and her experiances with it are great. Might take a look at the Osmolator as a possibility as well.
It uses two infrared sensors that dont rely on light to determine water height. They also dont get confused by snails etc, so dont require snail guards. Its about the same price as the Atlas, but I've never heard of any floods caused by it malfunctioning. I will most likely be switching to an Osmolator when I upgrade tanks.
BTW, welcome to Reef Frontiers.

top off controller
Hello thanks for your input but i`m looking for something that i can run direct from my ro/di tunze is a good product but not what i`m looking for . oceanus systems has i think 3 or 4 controllers that plug direct into a ro/di just wondering if anyone else makes a controller that compare`s to oceanus. thanks

I havent seen many that do....gimme a few minutes and I'll check through my links here on my computer.
The reason I suggested something along the lines of the Osmolator is because a float valve failure connected to your RO/Di water source can have diasterous consequences. By putting in an intermediate step, (such as some container to store RO/Di water that the top off is connected to) you alleviate the chance of a flood or worse yet a serious die off due to hyposalinity.
Have you got a failsafe or were you just relying on the dual float valves w/ snailguards to prevent problems?
