I would say it's safe! If it's safe for us to drink then for sure the fish.

Doesn't have the best of reviews. Why not this 5 gallon one that is less money and is FDA approved and listed as being HDPE, which isn't a problem.

The HedPak @Redfish linked work great and you can drop a pump right into the opening if using as an ATO. The opening on the original looked a little too small for a pump.

If this for your ATO. I would go with something clear so you can see the water level.

Space is limited so I need something slim, most the bad reviews are from it leaking when stored side ways

I can not see what is to the left and right of the stand, but my preference would be to move that chiller outside the stand. The heat it's generating is keeping the inside of that stand nice and toasty. It would run more efficient outside where it could give off it's heat to a larger room.

Thanks I do have the stand vented with a fan I think that should keep it cool enough, the chiller doesn't run much
