Ryan S September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 I know where and what to get for bigger systems (100g+), but what about those of you with smaller tanks (<50g) and/or those of you with limited space? What do you use for storing RO/DI water or mixed saltwater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy G September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 I use 20 gallon High tanks. Also did see quantum ordered some 20 gallon Extra high tanks that looked good on space. Really the easiest way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decadence September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 Water tanks for RVs work pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrbigdog September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 I would love one of the larger containers but have no room. 5 gal buckets with screw lids. I just refill on evening while watching a game. When done stack in a corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origami September 11, 2014 Share September 11, 2014 You may laugh, but when I had a 34 gallon AIO in my wife's home office, I used a plastic pail ("Fresh Step" kitty litter) which held a few gallons as my ATO reservoir. It fit the cabinet easily and was rectangular so it made great use of space. Since the pail was meant to hold heavy kitty litter material, it was thick and strong. My neighbor had cats, too, so the price was right - free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion September 11, 2014 Share September 11, 2014 I use a 17 gallon rubbermaid container for my 57 gallon system with a small heater and maxijet 1200 pump for mixing.You can find a bunch of different shapes/sizes at any Walmart, or Lowes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowieReefer84 September 11, 2014 Share September 11, 2014 I think Lowes carries plastic trash cans that are like 10gal, versus the 32gal brutes. Also, you could just go to petco on a sale and get some glass tanks and build a stand to stack them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbor had cats, too, so the price was right - free. LOL, this was my very first ATO bucket. For the same reasons, it fit in the cabinet perfectly where it was at the time. Now I use it to grow tomatoes...using a 18g sterilite container for holding ATO with my current setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howaboutme September 11, 2014 Share September 11, 2014 I use this (see image). I can't take full credit for the idea though. Another WAMAS member suggested it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
