ATO Tank for REEFER 170

scurvy dawg · Oct 26, 2017

Does anyone know of a place where I can order a custom sized ATO tank that fits in the gap between the stand wall and the sump in a RSR 170? Specifically the size I am looking for is 4.5" Wide x 15" Deep x 18" High. I have tried a few places but they don't seem to want to respond to my emails.

Thanks,

I ordered a similar size 15" (front to back) x 14" (tall) x 4 3/8 (width) from Blue Tide Acrylics for my 170, I highly recommend them. I found them from another R2R member's build thread. I went with a shorter height and I sit a reactor on top. I have a good bit of surface motion and the ATO lasts 5-6 days. I purchased a funnel to easily refill it. 4.5 width probably works, but I wanted to play it safe and the foam on the bottom left takes a bit of space away. Here's an old picture when I was starting the tank:

Thanks, I think I will give them a try.
