How do you hide your DIY ATO containers?

[kzaveri19]

Currently, I am using a Reliance aquatainer OR a rubbermaid 20Gal trash can as ATO reservoir (I interchange on occasion, swapping in the rubbermaid when I am travelling for an extended period)

My entire setup is in the living room, and the containers look kinda ugly.

Are you guys using any sort of cheap cabinets to hide these in? Can I get something off Amazon?

No way to plumb it from elsewhere? That's the best way to do it.

I have an ugly ATO reservoir that sits next to my tank.....a five gallon bucket with a 5 gallon jug sitting on top of it.

I built a three sided cabinet with a similar simple design of my stand. The first thing that was done was to cut the base to fit around the bucket and attach small caster to this base.

Three simple paneled sides were made and attached to the base. The sides actually sit about a 1/4 inch off the floor to allow the casters to roll. Here's the cabinet with screw holes just filled with wood filler.

And here it is painted and in place:

Anything which is not DIY :)

I bought this off amazon because my tank doesn't have enough room for an ato container

They make different sizes and they are cheap but work

I dont really hide mine its a 29H that sits next to my tank. when I give the country I also fill up a 20gal Rubbermaid that will give me 4 weeks of ATO water. but if I wanted to cover it I would look in to a chest or Ottoman try of thing.

We have ours in a decorative wicker basket with a lid- sitting right nest to the tank.
