Thread: Using a 10 Gal tank as reservoir

  1. #1

    Default Using a 10 Gal tank as reservoir

    I did get a free tank from AA and was wondering if it could be used to hold my top off water... I have a place I can hide it and it would be enough to last me a little while and not overflow my sump in case of accident...

    i can make a acrylic lid but any cons to using a tank?

    I use a 20 gallon tank with an acrylic cover and it works great! Lasts me exactly a week. Drilled an couple of holes for the tubing and put on a PVC cap and bushing in the lid to fill it with.

    I used to have a 20 gallon setup with an acrylic top and a MaxiJet connected to my ATO. It worked pretty well. I filled it up every two weeks or so.

    I now use a 10 gallon tank that is filled automatically: http://www.maast.org/showthread.php?...-Dosing-Center

    Like you could even get a lid on that! It makes me think of what Allan would look like driving a miata!

    Ha, I don't drive lady cars. And not just because I don't fit.
