I need to create a ato storage container and I’m looking for ideas. I’m not very good with building things so I’m looking for ideas to just buy something.

Here is the kicker, it will be on the floor next to the tank and next to the tv stand. So it needs to look decent or my wife will kill me.

I mentioned a regular tank like a 10 gallon and painting the glass and putting a lid on it and she about flipped until I told here it would be “nice”

So any ideas would be helpful

Thanks
 
I've seen people use things such as decorative square wicker baskets to hide their ATO Reservoir.

Trunks, boxes......etc.
 
Build what you want. I’m currently building a “barn wood” style unit. I found some old pallets pulled apart, made a frame to sit over my 5 gallon bucket and will be a nice end table. Be creative this is my electronics cover.

This is what I use. Antique wine jug. It’s called a “carboy” or “demijohn”
Holds about 13 gallons.
