Hey everyone. Want to add a dosing pump and reactor to my 54 corner as well as a small ATO. Space is tight as you already know with this style tank. Anyone have any luck fitting all this under the tank? Any suggestions would be helpful. Forgot to add I’m switching my sump out to an eshopps rs75 this weekend. And currently the tank is still cycling.

Slow and steady wins the race!
I have limited space under my tank also.. only thing you can do is find components that fit your space. ATO containers can be placed outside the cabinet if necessary, some people hide them in things like large flower pots or ottomans next to tank.
I have a 92G corner tank with the same space limitations. I couldn't fit an ATO, so I ended up running a water line in the crawlspace from my RODI in my laundry room to my tank. I purchased a solenoid and set it to turn on for 15 min. a day. It was a little more work, but now that it's done it was well worth it to save the space and eliminate the need to carry buckets of water to fill an ATO every week.
The more I look at things this may be the smart play. Way more work upfront but worth it. I have a closed top so I’m not losing a lot of water through evaporation so my reservoir wouldn’t have to be that big. I appreciate the input
