Looking for a ~30 gallon ATO reservoir that can sit next to the tank. I've been temporarily using a plastic bin, but looking to find a slightly more aesthetically pleasing solution- whether that is the container itself, or a simple way of hiding a water vessel. My default is to gut a piece of furniture to hide a brute trash can, however I wanted to check and see if anyone has already done this and has any suggestions. Unfortunately, running a line from a remote location is not an option in this particular case. Thanks in advance!
 
If you want something nice look at Advanced Acrylics. I have 2 and 1 sits next to the tank and is white same color as the stand.
Their not cheap, but no furniture needed to hide it.

This is what I use for my 450gal. It's not very aesthetically pleasing but slightly better looking than a Brute bin. I put this underneath the tank, which is out of sight & out of mind.

Of course, the really nice option is an Advanced Acrylics per above but can get expensive for an ATO reservoir this size.
