I just got my ATO in and I am curious to see how you guys have yours. I received a dual float autotopoff ATO.
 
I have a 10g tank under my stand with half inch tube connected to a maxijet 1200 and ran it up to the back of my tank where the sump is since its a cube.
 
I'm using an Osmolator that is fed from a 32 gallon Brute trash can.

I think I'll be selling an aqualifter with a solenoid and float valve that I used to use as my ATO. Worked great when I used it on short vacations.
 
I have the same ATO as you. I run it with a Aqualifter pump from my RO container all the way across the house. My RO unit dumps into a 20G rubbermaid and I feed the ATO and pull make up water from there.

I was hoping people would post some pictures to give me a better idea how to set mine up.

I'll get you a picture of how I have my JBJ set up when I get home tonight, I have the Tunze Osmolator in route to me right now to replace my JBJ so I'll take more pictures of that and post it for you as well once it comes in.
 
This is my nano ATO. lol

i use a gravity fed with 5 gallons of ro-di water.....even if it fails, it can't crash my tank.

heres a link to my ATO set-up
 
I got my idea from melev's reef. A simple float switch installed in a pill bottle (snail guard) drilled to allow in water. The last image is my wiring, wires from switch going to a extension cord. Waterproofed using a baggie and rubber band. The float switch cost me like $12.00 plus shipping plus the aqualifter pump,
