How many Gallons is your ATO Reservoir ???

100g DT
6g ATO

Depends on my temp how fast it consumes it. 76-77 10 days, 79+ 3 days.
 
200 gal + system 48 gallon or so (brute trash can) ato lasts about 2 weeks but I draw water off of it to manually top off a 54gal.
 
40 Breeder
~4.5 Gallons
 
125g DT, 40g sump and fuge, and the ATO reservoir is about 5g. I also automate filling up the reservoir, so I never even have to think about it. I just didn't want to plumb the RO system directly into the tank. I control filling up the reservoir with a high and low optical sensor, a solenoid on the RO line, and as a last resort, a float valve for the incoming RO water.

280 gal tank.60 gal ATO tank.
 
65 gallon display
10 gallon ATO
 
Total system Net volume: 200 gallons. ATO: 20 gallons. I have sized it in order to go a week (even during summer) without needing to refil given I am away from home during the week. Downside of large ATOs is if the pump gets stuck on it can mess up your salinity, or wipe your tank if you use Kalk. I would likely have kept a smaller one (3/4 days worth of evaporation) if I could be home every day.
 
DT is 20 gallons and ATO is 5 gallons; lasts a little over a week with an average room temperature of about 70 degrees F.
 
1) 75g total volume (75g display w/30g sump)
2) 5g ATO reservoir
