Why will you not listen to me?? Send the girl to the spa for the day, and plumb your RO through the wall into the bathroom plumbing. I'm almost certain we could patch it all up before spa day ends!!!

I concur with Aquattro. At that rate of evaporation. I'd be super annoyed topping it off daily. Even if you had a 5 gallon pail, your still topping off the pail every 3 days.
I used to run my auto top off from the basement to my 180 directly to the float valve from my water pipes (through a carbon filter to remove chlorine). However, those were the days that I was just using tap water.

I use a glass wine making carboy pressurized with a small air pump. The air pressure pushes the water through a humidifier float valve attached to the rim of the display. I currently run sumplees so the container sits on a stand next to the DT. The carboy holds about 7 gallons and lasts about 5 days with my current rate of evap. The glass is heavier than a plastic container, but this way there are no issues whatsoever regarding food grade plastic etc. It obviously won't fit over your sump, but with a little ingenuity you may be able to disguise it or otherwise make it look purty. Maybe a wicker container to cover the plain glass, something like that. Then you don't need to worry about access constraints in a tight location.

I use a $6 Rubbermaid garbage can (food safe plastic of course) from Canadian Tire and humidifier float valve. The float valve looks exactly like the Kent for a fraction of the price (this hobby is funny that way!). JBJ ATO on my 180 Gal and Tsunami ATO on my 90, both work very well. I have my RO/DI plumbed into both reseviors and my 80 Gal water change barrell as well.
