ATO Water Container

[jweiner]

For those of you who have AIO tanks (I have the IM 15g cube), what type of container do you use for your ATO water and where do you locate this container?

You can use something as simple as a bucket with lid. Im just using a cheap petfood container with lid on my 40breeder. Lot fancy made ones out there too

Thanks. I’d like to find (perhaps) a one gallon glass or acrylic container with a lid that would have a hole for the tubing and power cord.

Mines under my tank. Clear container on right

Mines plastic and i just drilled a hole where i needed it for pump hose and cord to come through so lid would close

Bulk Reef has some, but I don’t think that small in their ATO section I think th smallest is 3 or 4 gallons. BUT, if you look under dosers they have several dosing containers that would probably work. Not sure of the sizes. I think I saw one that was 3 or 4 liters.

A plastic jar or one with plastic lid would work fine if it hold enough water for your tank for about week

Basically anything food safe... this is what I went with for my upcoming build Amazon product ASIN B0D1T97VX8
In the past I've used 5 gallon HDPE jugs such as this for a measly $11 Amazon product ASIN B0D1T97VX8

I use a 5g bucket where I drilled a hole in the top. Works perfectly for my tank!

5g bucket for my IM 15. Hard to spend more for an ato, I run Advanced Acrylic reservoirs, than the tank, lol. One day I will move it into the cabinet with a different reservoir.
