Tunze. Best investment I've made for the tank. It has a laser eye water level sensor as well as a float switch as a secondary fail safe. It is also equipt with an audible alarm to alert you if the water level get pass the 2 sensor. It comes with a pump and a length of tube too, just plug and play, no need to purchase any more add on or accessories. The newer model of the Tunze Osmolator has a magnetic mount for the 2 sensor. The older model comes with a mounting kit that is hanged from the glass tank.

Connect the Tunze Osmolator to a timer and attached a kalkwasser reactor at the output of the tunze pump and you have a setup to maintain the ph swing during the night. All you need to do is to top up your freshwater container as well as add kalkwasser to your kalkwasser reactor when needed. Been using this setup combo for 6 years without any intervention since it was installed.

Usually, the Tunze Osmolator would be paired together with a kalkwasser reactor for auto top up as well as maintaining the ph of the water, not kh. Since your water ph swing is slight, you might get away without the need for a kalkwasser reactor. Good to have a kalkwasser reactor but some might not agree.
