I set up my water station in a closet as well...

The collection can you can barely see to the left has been replaced with a Brute 32g can. The one in the picture deformed under the weight of the water. I have a 32g can for fresh water, a 20g for fresh water at tank temp for top offs, and another 20g on wheels for mixing new saltwater.

Heck yeah! Glad I’m not the only one in a closet haha. I have a 125 gallon so I got the biggest trashcan you can get at 55 gallons, it’s honestly so huge I hate it, but it works so.

I have 3 tanks.. 32, 55 and 180. My setup has worked well for me. The 20g mixing can on wheels is a must. I can roll it to the tanks to refill them on water change day. Saves a ton of bucket moving!!

Go to your local Harbor freight and get a small furniture dolly. (about $15) screw a piece of plywood onto it to make a flat surface and there ya go.

The 180 is a FOWLR system. Bigger than I had planned, but I got a great deal on it off CraigsList.

Not a bad idea. I've been thinking of making something similar but in the space between the couch and my desk. Thinking a thin John guest style tubing to route around the house in a conduit.. Now just to convince my partner that it's always been there.....

I keep my brute can and setup in the second bathrooms shower. Dont have room to put that huge 32 gallon brute anywhere else. I dont want to place it in the garage because it gets too hot in there in the summer.
