I have a 135 gallon tank and a 50 gallon sump. I currently have a 14 gallon reservoir for ato. Lasts about 8-9 days
 
I have a 44 gallon Brute container that holds RODI. I have a bottom drain Tee'd off to gravity ATO sump with float switch, and other side to drain to my 20 gallon salt mixing container.

If I don't mix salt water or plan any water changes, then a full 44 gallon would last several weeks to a month, depending on evaporation and weather.

I do have a backroom with tons of space, so space is no issue for me.

Have a 120g tank with 50 gallon sump, probably only about 150 gallons of actual water.

10 to 11 gallons for a 90 g DT and 40 g sump/refugium.
 
5 gallon reservoir for a 400 gallon system but I have it set up that my apex turns on a solenoid 2 times a day for a half hour and fills my top off container and my kalk drip system up at the same time. Both of these tanks also have float valves in case the RODI water is not need when the solenoid turns on.
 
5g. Probably would last a week but I top it off every two or three days. Contemplated getting something larger though not sure what yet.
 
30g brute that holds my ROI water connected to main water line with ato piped in=unlimited ATO, never runs out

32 gallon Brute container hooked up to a smart ato system in a 150g DT with a 40g sump, probably about 140 gallons of total water volume. I get about 2-3 weeks in the summer, about 3-4 in the winter.
 
I have a 15g reservoir that lasts 10-14 days on my 125g DT (160g overall) In the process of replacing it with a Gamma Vittle Vaults container that will hold 24-26 gallons and run it through a Kalk Stirrer. In theory this should give me an easy 3 weeks of reserve.

Cheers, Todd
