ATO Containers

[Lavey29]

Have the 10 gallons Bashsea. Pretty happy with it. Did drill out one of the tubing holes (doesn’t look like the 5 gallon has them) to install a float valve. Only thing I don’t like is that the Bashsea label on the lid doesn’t line up with the handle not a big deal, but just looks sloppy to me. I’d give Bashsea an 8/10 on the ATO ad a 7/10 on the sump.

The containers do match their stumps very nicely.

Here is where I drilled out the tubing hole. May do the other side to install a bulkhead.

Those little fans are cool. Are they battery operated? Mounted with velcro tape?

Petco $1 a gallon. 10 gallon glass aquarium for $10.00 Nothing cheaper or as reliable. Put an acrylic cover on it and off ya go!

For anyone interested, my "blemished" ATO from Trigger arrived. I suppose the blemish is some messy solvent corners on the bottom of it. That's literally all I see wrong with it and to be honest, if I purchased a 'regular' one and got that, I likely wouldn't have even noticed. I suppose it's possible the sizing or the etched measurements are off or something, but it looks great. It was $85 shipped instead of the $129 plus tax.

Got my ATO container from Advanced Acrylics. Slim and tall, fit perfectly in the limited space I have.

Same.

I had super limited space where my 60G cube is so i was able to find a large cylindrical glass vase that's 7" in diameter and 24" tall which can hold ~4 gallons for $20 bucks at Michael's. Vinyl wrapped it black with some extra vinyl I had and cut a slit to check water level. Also 3D printed a lid for it to install my Tunze 3155 osmolator. Works like a charm!
