Show your ATO container.

I use 3 x 44 gallon Brute cans plumbed together with bulkheads. It lasts more than a month for me.

 

[evolved]

12.5 Gallons

Going to be setting next to the stand (( in time I plan on having a "stand" made to fit it in, and place a 20 on top of { sideways } for a QT, that will match the tank's stand ))

Back one, during leak test

A 5 gallons home depot bucket for me. Would love to find something about 10 gallons or more.

My reef cube has an integrated ATO section on the left side in the sump like this:

30 Gallon RODI drum and a 30 gallon salt water mix drum.

I use a 5.5 gallon food container that I picked up from an online restaurant supply store. It has a lid that I drilled holes in to run the tubes in and out of the container.

I use a 35g hex tank that sits on top the bench that's above my sump. The bench is 4' tall so theres plenty of room under to get at the sump, and I'm on the tall side so I appreciate the tall bench. Float valve hooked to the RO/DI shuts it off at about 28 gallons and that lasts me 3-4 weeks depending on time of year.

Here's mine...16 gallon

Where did you get this at

I use a five gallon bucket with 5 gallon water jugs for a total of 10 gallons. This set up puts the siphon point at the level of the 5 gallon bucket (below the sump) and also allows for easy addition of the next 5 gallon jug.

2.5 container on right when I'm home to refill. My 110 total water volume won't have to big of a salinity swing even if my Aquasmart ATO was to dump all the water in.

I use this when on vacation it holds 6 gallons, so my youngest daughter can take care of the reef, and fill it when necessary.

Been looking for something like this. Where can I find one?

 

[ReeferIX]

Tractor Supply has them all different sizes.

I think this is where I got mine. There are several places that sell them. They also have several sizes. I started with a 26 gallon but I needed more space in my stand for reactors and dosing containers.

Wow nice! I was leaning this way. Is that 1/4" acrylic? Did you use Weld On for the seams? What was your process in putting it together?

I built a plywood box for my 44 gallon brute. Keep stuff on top of it for the tank most of the time
