I have the precision-marine and it's really easy to setup and use, and can't cost that much in electricity. The circulation pump is on for 15 mins 4 times a day...

I use a AquaMedic doser (Niveaumat) which is a peristaltic pump. It's nice and slow, so no mishaps, although to be safe I also have another level control that it is plugged into, so I have double level checking. I've overflowed before, and don't want it happening again. I doubt that it uses much power either, as it isn't on that often.

I like as much automation as possible. Once setup I pour in some kalk powder about once a month and that is it.

The water feeds from a rubbermaid 30G? tub that has a float valve and is filled by my RO/DI.
