V2Auto Top Up an affordable solution for automatic top off from TMC

Posted on January 20th, 2012 by 4


Tropical Marine Centre recently launched its V2Auto Top Up as a low voltage automatic top off system geared towards being and affordable option for hobbyists. Like other top off systems (or top up, depending on which side of the pond you are on), the V2Auto Top Up uses float switches and a 3.5 watt 12V DC pump that can deliver up to 200 lph (around 60 US gallons) with a max head of 2m.

There are two different V2Auto Top Up systems available: a standard with one float switch that retails for £39.99 (approx. $62 USD) and the Plus system with two float switches for added redundancy and protection from overfilling the system for £59.99 (approx. $93 USD). No word on availability of this on the North American side and how in line the pricing will be.

    $30 for an extra float switch? I can just buy one for $1 off ebay and figure out a way to plug it in.

    Looks like a good system, but affordable would be $50 for the whole setup. $93 is pretty much in line with a lot of other systems.

    If it does the same thing…. Works just as well… Cost a lot less… guess which one I going to pick… I hate the stigma that companies put out there that you need to best of the best, to keep a reef aquarium. I got into this hobby for the livestock not to spend $100.00 for an auto top off. Go sell some Newbie with a bottomless wallet your BS.
