Ya'll with big tanks, what do you use for your ATO reservoir? I'm trying to do away with the rubbermaid trashcan in the living room eyesore and am needing new ideas. I'm planning on putting the reservoir beneath the stand, so I'm looking for something with a small footprint. I've seen those circuit board etching tanks that are like 25 gallons and a 8" x 24" footprint. What do ya'll use?

I have a 125G main tank and I use a 20G high for ATO . It sits next to my sump inside the stand.
I used to have a 10G but I needed to go on vacation for 1 week and I didn't want for it to go empty.

I have a 20g drum on the right of my tank and its feed by gravity with a float valve in my sump..last me 5days. i clean the float valve and line out every month.
For my 180g
1.RO/DI on the wall in garage hooked up to the water spicket outside.
2.RO/DI feeds into my 7gallon reservoir under tank.
3.Electronic solenoid hooked up inline between RO/DI and reservoir(normal state closed, so if power fails it shuts off the RO/DI).
4.Electronic solenoid hooked up on timer, only allowed to run 3 hours each morning to refill reservoir.
5.Float valve setup in reservoir to shut-off RO/DI when reservoir is full(if this fails, electronic solenoid will shut off with timer shortly after reservoir fills)
6.Auto-shutoff valve installed on RO/DI, so if float valve or solenoid is closed, backpreasure shuts down the RO/DI.
7.Kalk reactor hooked up inline between reservoir and tank.
8.Dual float switches hooked up in sump, if one sticks on, the 2nd will catch overfill and shut off top off pump.
Lots of redundancy in my system now and I'm thinking of getting the tunze osomonator to replace the dual float switches in tank, that unit has an infrared eye to sense evaporation and a float valve to catch flood, less in contact with water so no sticking on.
