Creative ways to hide an ATO reservoir?

Recommended Posts

So I managed to get everything for my 120 setup pretty nicely, except for my ATO reservoir. My issue is inside my stand the only thing I have space for would be 21"x10"x7.5". Which would be an awesome water volume if I could find something that would work, but without paying for custom it doesn't seem very feasible. I wouldn't be opposed to setting it outside of the stand, as long as I could manage to hide it easily, or have it be nice enough looking to look like a small piece of furniture or something because it will be in the entryway of my house, then height becomes irrelevant but I would need something 28.5lx10w which poses similar difficult. My ATO float switch cables are only about 3' long so it has to be within a few feet of my stand. Anyone have any recommendations? Help me stop looking at this ugly home Depot bucket😂

find an ottoman or little cabinet at Ross or something and get a 10 gal from Petco.

I like this. I was thinking about something similar but wasn't sure about practicality. I'll have to go look around at Ross tonight.

What kind of ATO are you using?  Any ability to move the pump to a remote location and run tubing back to the sump?  I use a Neptune ATK and use my 75 gallon RO/DI storage tank in my garage as the ATO reservoir 30 feet away from my tank.

It's just a jbj, apex and much more automation coming soon, but the biggest issue with anywhere of real distance away is I rent so hiding that kind of stuff becomes difficult when I can't run any conduit from the garage.
