You could also run your a airline tubing line from your RO unit up through your house to the ATO container and fill it here and there. That's what I do.

I have a drop ceiling in my basement so it's easier for me hahaha.

I have the same issue with space in a small JBJ 28 Nano cabinet. I use a decorative glass floor vase/bottle as a ATO water storage vessel. In my quest for finding a suitable container, I have found the possibilities are endless in regards to finding something that is decorative that can be placed beside the display tank and not look like a industrial chemical tote. I'm going to change the bottle I'm using now for a taller cylindrical one that will accommodate a larger volume of water. I used a cork stopper as the lid. I drilled two holes in the cork and inserted a 3/16" rigid tube for suction and the other hole is to prevent a vacuum. I then slid a 1/4 air line tube over the ridged tube and ATO water is delivered to the tank via a JBJ ATO controller and KollerCraft aqua lifter.

I was thinking the Cork plug could even be fitted with something that a vase would hold as decoration, like dry curly willow branches or something like that.

Wow never thought of that!! Awesome idea

Thanks. It will look much better with the right cylindrical vase. I'm looking for the perfect one and this is doing the trick for now.

I am a HUGE fan of my Tunze 3155. Cant go wrong with that unit.

I have the tunze nano osmilator and it's great to have everything all in one. I haven't had any problems that weren't operator error but I do wish it had a longer delay before it adds water and I wish it were an optical sensor instead of a float. But like I said, no problems so far.
