    I plan on adding a top off reserve tank in my stand. But I do not really care for the looks of it. What do people when building a custom reserve tank thats fish safe?

    For my ATO- DIY , I use a clear plastic type tote bin that about 12gallons totally full.
    domes with a plaxtic top with little latches on the ends.
    Easy to drill, seal, etc.

    Cheap and they work great

    I've always used a pet food container you can get from any petsmart/petco.

    5 gallon bucks from home depot + lid, some rubber hose a piece of plastic hose to insert into bucket, and a pump plus your ato device... total cost. roughly 120? maybe less
