I use cereal containers from Walmart (I think about 1 gallon). What I like about these is the large mouth opening, making it easy to refill from the gallon jugs of alk and calc I make.

Me too....Mines is a 2gal (if I'm right)

Has anyone felt the need to put float switches in their dosing containers? Looks like the APEX containers have them...seems most have their containers visible under the tank vs in adjacent fish room.

Where did you get the round, cylindrical containers? I have more 5th doser from Pacific Sun and I need round containers to hold the liquid since I also have the magnetic stirrer.

Voss water. They are glass. I use them to. The brs bulkheads fit perfectly in the tops

Just a heads up for whatever you end up deciding, I learned it's best to only keep a weeks worth of solution in the container at a time. I have personally had a doser malfunction and not stop dosing. Not a good thing to come home to!

I don't have much room to work with on the reefer 425xl, so I use a 10g trash can as my ATO and slide in 3 glass Voss bottles for dosing.
$2-3 a bottle depe
800mL @ 25 a day, so I change it monthly

Ciroc Bottles from Costco with the plastic bottle pourers. The tubing fits perfectly in it. You can basically use any type of liquor bottle but I like the tall slim ones because they use less spacing...
