Emergency ro water for water change and salt for mix.

Carbon and reactor for any chemical absorbtion.

Backup heater in case primary fails.

About a hundred other things but it will always be the one thing you don't have that screws you in the end, lol.

Yup, love my ATO. Besides my in-sump skimmer, would never have a big tank without an ATO.
