racefan Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I had some wood left over from building my stand so I slapped together a cover for my ATO bucket. I have a ato.com topoff unit & just use an old salt bucket & a maxi jet powerhead. Well I thought it was kind of unsightly, so I made a cover that fits over the top of the bucket with a lid & painted it to match the stand. The best part was I built it with leftover wood & paint so it did not cost anything just some time on a rainy day a couple weeks ago. We have had enough of those to build a small country! Here's a couple pics. The tank & stand pic's kinda dark but you get the general idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gill Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 This is a great idea, I have been wanting to set one up but don't have the space in my stand. Is the ATO water completely fresh, or do you add a little salt to it to compensate for the skimate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racefan Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 It's RO/DI water(fresh). I have a 25 gal bbl in my shop for fresh & 55 for salt & I just fill up gallon jugs & dump them into the 5 gal bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
