    Just remember to fill up your Reservoir. ;) Mine is an actual tank, so it is clear, and I can see when it is low. Another thought to add to your search. :D

    found some interesting ones on here: Water Storage Tanks

    Kinda liked the 30g horizontal one, but maybe I will try to still find something closer to 15g or so.

    will do FOD :), no black storage containers for me.

    I use a covered 23 gallon Rubbermaid recycling can for my ATO and a Rubbermaid Roughneck on wheels for mixing new saltwater and water changes.
    For RO/DI water change storage I use five clear PET 5G water jugs like bottled delivery drinking water comes in plus I have a valve on the bottom of my ATO reservoir to fill jugs too if I need more.

    I built a 5 gallon black acrylic container for mine. Coast me $60 in black plastic cut from TAP plastics.

    Ohhhh how cool, very nice idea, I just may have to do something similar, maybe in 15g if possible. Thanks for sharing that!

    Another good idea, if anyone ever asked, I could just say "that's my cobra basket" :)
