Heck yeah! Glad I’m not the only one in a closet haha. I have a 125 gallon so I got the biggest trashcan you can get at 55 gallons, it’s honestly so huge I hate it, but it works so.I set up my water station in a closet as well...
The collection can you can barely see to the left has been replaced with a Brute 32g can. The one in the picture deformed under the weight of the water. I have a 32g can for fresh water, a 20g for fresh water at tank temp for top offs, and another 20g on wheels for mixing new saltwater.
I have 3 tanks.. 32, 55 and 180. My setup has worked well for me. The 20g mixing can on wheels is a must. I can roll it to the tanks to refill them on water change day. Saves a ton of bucket moving!!
Yeah I should’ve gotten the wheels for mine, huge regret when I drag 50 gallons of water across the floor literally 400 pounds but wow 180 that’s huge!!
I got a great deal on my tank as well from facebook marketplace, got the whole setup with lights, sump, tank and stand, power heads, Apex system for 1300! I could not believe it haha
Bargain!!
Not a bad idea. I've been thinking of making something similar but in the space between the couch and my desk. Thinking a thin John guest style tubing to route around the house in a conduit.. Now just to convince my partner that it's always been there.....
That looks clean!!I have two 15 gallon containers in the water heater closet under the stairs. There is some cord management and ATO/AWC still left to plumb.
