HIDDEN ATO TANK?

[CUSE1315]

Hey All-

I’m looking for various solutions to hide my ATO tank next to my Display (no room under it due to the sump).

Here is my current setup for reference.

What creative ideas have you all come up with?

BRS offers a slim jug thats perfect for hiding behind stuff, might be worth a look You can tuck it behind the tank or in the cabinet next to the sump.

Sounds pretty awesome! Thanks a lot for the help!

Depending on the size of your ATO container you can use one an ottoman with a lid like this one or maybe a large planter and put some artificial plants on top. You can drill holes in either option to run the cords out the side.

I built a box that slides over my 5 gallon ATO bucket. It is kind of goofy looking, but it matches the stand and holds some books as well.

not sure how much room you have behind your tank but i literally just have a 5 gallon bucket with the ato pump and its not visible

Here is my ugly ATO Reservoir, approximately 10 gallons.

What I did was build a very simple three sided cabinet and put some small casters on the bottom so that I could roll out the cabinet to add another bottle of water:

Since I could no longer see when the reservoir needed a bottle change, I added a float switch to the lower bucket and lights an LED on the face of my equipement cabinet.

I have two ottomans. One holds a 12" acrylic cube I made for ATO reservoir and the other foods/fragging tools/ect.

Lots of great ideas so far!

I really like the ottoman or the vase (I’m sure my wife will be a fan).

Has anyone used a vase before?

I have seen vases used in other posts - dress up the reservoir instead of hiding it.

This is only an option if your physical install allows it, but I have access under the floor so my RODI station sits outside the house near the tank and I have a Neptune ATK filling my stock RSR 250 reservoir from this remote RODI reservoir. I run RO line through the floor behind the tank to the remote reservoir. I just run the RODI periodically to keep the outside reservoir full. I also draw bulk water supply into the house (for WCs etc) from the same reservior via 1” hose connected to an Eheim CompactON 3000 in the RODI reservoir controlled by a switch inside and a tap valve for safety.

I use this for 2.5g water container storage.
