Biggest one is 1.18 gallons? Way too small for a standard top off reservoir. Even on my 20G I got through a 5G top off every couple of weeks.Aquarium Choice Acryli Made Liquid Storage Bucket Dosing Pump Reservoir Container (6.3 * 4.25 * 7.28 Inch;2500ml/2.5L) https://a.co/d/dJpvG6U

I researched this extensively. I do understand "not all plastics are the same".Make sure you verify using the safe plastic logos. All plastics are not the same.
On the bottom of all plastic containers, they will have a marking that indicates what the plastic is that they used. It's done with a number inside of the recycle symbol. It tells you if.ylur plastic is food grade or not.I researched this extensively. I do understand "not all plastics are the same".
But feel free to take the time to research yourself...
Good grief.On the bottom of all plastic containers, they will have a marking that indicates what the plastic is that they used. It's done with a number inside of the recycle symbol. It tells you if.ylur plastic is food grade or not.
Lots of plastics leech out bad stuff. Some are processed and can leave residues.
Basically, be aware that all storage tubs are not made with food/reef safe plastics.
Ps I know you know this stuff. It was meant as a general comment in case somebody wanders in from a google search 2 years from now.
And I bet 2 years from now, Sterilite containers will still be safe.On the bottom of all plastic containers, they will have a marking that indicates what the plastic is that they used. It's done with a number inside of the recycle symbol. It tells you if.ylur plastic is food grade or not.

I'm out. Have a good one... This place is testy today. Thanks for the info over the years.And I bet 2 years from now, Sterilite containers will still be safe.
someone on here did that and it looked great. It was like a 36" high cylinder maybe 8" wide and they just made a top to keep dust out. It actually looked nice. Could probably find one at Michaels or Hobby Lobby etc...I think they wrapped or painted it black.Here goes nothing,I had an idea. Mentioned it to my wife about my shark tank idea. She said “your kidding right?”.
Umm.. anyway here it is.
How about a nice vase, can even make a removable fake flower top with a little creativity. May not ideal in a bachelor pad, that would be an old beer keg with a liner.
Home goods or something place my mother in law goes may have ideas.
Here is where the thought originated from. If fake plastic plants are good enough for her then good enough for me lol
Nice, glad to know I am not crazy. Some time ago I had to take my wife shopping. Found a nice wicker chest she liked that I could cut the back out of to put the chiller in.

yeah, I'll need to work on some type of wall cabinet or something so I can place the power strips in so I don't see them since I don't want them under the stand. I didn't want to see the ATO which will be in the stand but needed something to fit. Would have gotten the 15G IM but it looked too tight so went with the Bashsea 10g. Looks nice since the sump is already black.Nice, glad to know I am not crazy. Some time ago I had to take my wife shopping.

I use a 10 gallon fish tank that's a good size to fit in my stand and fill easy. When I started I did a budget setup with a simple nano pump and float switch through a solenoid. Only problem I ever had with this is the float valve got snails stuck in it.Hey all,
As the title of the thread states, I would like to stop manually topping off my tank so I will be investing in an auto top off. I have had many and for whatever reason, have just been manually topping off my 110 system daily. I think I will be going with a Tunze but open to suggestions in the ATO arena.
Anyway, since this reservoir will be out in the open, I would prefer it to be somewhat elegant looking. Perhaps I could just use a black bucket but I am interested in something more on the lines of 10 gallons so I do not have to worry about refilling it every weekend.
I see some really nice options from Trigger Systems, Hmahli, and Royal Exclusiv. However these are all ridiculously expensive. I will pay $800 for a light but I truly draw the line at $300 for a black 10g acrylic box. What are some DIY options? I think there are some minimal looking. garbage cans out there but I want to see some ideas.
Cheers!!
