auto top off box

[TheSaint216]

Does anyone recommend a ato box in particular? I have a 2 year old child and cats and need something that they will not be able to get access to. I plan on putting this next to the system but I need something that cant be easily taken apart. Any thoughts?

U could use 5 gallon salt bucket clamp down lid drill hole for tube. I use a Rubbermaid that clamps down

Id be afraid of my kid knocking the bucket over and Id rather not have the bucket just sitting there.

get a small enough cabinet that can hold a 5g bucket inside and cut out a hole to fit the hose.paint it to match the tank and put a child safty lock on it.you can also secure the cabinet to the tank stand

I used one of those foot ottamans that had the storage inside of it. Bought a 12" plexiglass cube with hinged lid from www.pleximart.com- Holds about 5 gallons of water. Run the lines from my Tunze ATO to the sump and u see very little that the little hands could tug on.

I use the 7 gallon Aqua-Tainer buckets from Walmart that have the spicket and vent hole. I have the tubing coming out of the vent hole and use the spicket end to fill the bucket. Kind of a PITA to fill with anything other than another aquatainer or something like it, but the buckets are food grade safe.
