I was wondering if anybody had an ATO that I could buy from them. I just don't think I can DIY one together and get it all set up. SO if anybody has one I can buy, or pay them to make, I would be most appreciative! Thanks!
WTB: ATO

That would be GREAT!! They look simple & Cheap enough to make, but when it comes to splicing wires and hooking things up and placing stuff in certain places, I'm not very good. Let me know about how much.
Will do. I am building a battery-powered airpump version and so far the parts for mine are as follows:
5 gallon water jug from LFS: $6.99
Battery-powered airpump from Wal-Mart fishing dept: $5.99 (i think)
Float switch: $10
2 old "D" batteries: FREE
Some rigid and regular airline tubing: $2-$3
Some spare parts from around the house: FREE
I am gonna build mine this weekend and I'll let you know how it goes.

There is always this setup. You need to supply an extension cord and a powerhead though.

I built one of those air powered ATOs and I was quite satisfied with its performance. I built it for my Nanocube which of course it turns out I didn't need it for. I have a 1 gallon plastic jug that had Hawaiian Punch in it that I am going to use to make a new topoff container with, the original container was a 2 liter bottle. I am not sure how well a 5 gallon container will work, if you have problems try a smaller container.
