Heavy duty window current track. Makes great rail system to hang lights from. $60 for 12'
You can usually find a local supply house that will have it, so dont have to ship it.

You can find these at Walmart or a dollar store. I drill a 1/4" hole in the fill cap and just stuff the silicone tubing through that hole. I also remove the spigot and replace it with a cap from a gallon jug of windshield wash fluid or something similar. As it turns out, you can build a dosing pump pedestal out of 3/4" plywood and fit it with three of the 1.25 gallon containers on a normal sized cookie sheet.

For the ATO, I just remove the spigot and insert the makeup water lines through that port. I use the larger 2.5 gallon size for my ATO.

Thanks All signs, I couldn't think of what kind of screw cap replace the spigot. All I needed to know ThankYou Sir!

I originally used those same containers. I took the spigot off and got some rubber plugs to insert into that opening. I drilled two holes in the plugs. One for the feed tube (rigid airline tubing) and one for a vent.

I had trouble with them leaking, since there are two openings.

So, I replaced them with these containers from US Plastics. They only have the one opening, don't bulge when full and are opaque.
