I've always ran a setup from Autotopoff.com. They work great.
I have one as well, definitely go for the double float version, just gives you a little extra security, especially if you use Kalk, just prevents over filling if the bottom float sticks

+1. Been very happy with mine. Definitely like the added security of the double float model.

+1 for Autotopoff.com. Been using it and no issues so far.

+2 for autotopoff.com pretty much plug and play
But I used their design and made one for less than 20 bucks. That includes the relay, extension cord, project box, dual floats and wall wart. Pretty easy to make.
I use a $6 harbor freight fountian pump that I caught on sale for 3.98 and used a 20% off coupon.

Yep I also use a double float. I make it a habit to clean the float monthly to avoid any buildup.

Ok, you see Alicia Autotopoff.com is the way to go.
You need this setup (with 1" Sump Mounting Bracket (fits tank thickness between .25" and 1") about $50, not bad.
I believe I had this on my old setup but I used a magnet to hold all in place, this bracket will work perfect too.
Although it need some cleaning once a while as Mark mentioned.
Tunze is a bit different and really that is set and forget, only thing that's left is to make sure that you fill you RO/DI 5 gallon jug every week.
Yours should last you about two weeks.
Not really necessary next weekend as we start cycling your tank.
PS: I would jump on that skimmer I send you a pm on.
Pump is the same gallon you have now, you can get that too cause it's just a better pump that brings less heat in your water as the one you have now.
