Default ATO container v1.3

So after months of using my current at water container, I was having problems with the amount of actual water it held. So after some brainstorming I thought about using acrylic tubes mounted inside my old larger container so I could maximize water capacity but still have my dosing chemicals contained in it..... So after a quick visit to Saco polymers I put these together...

They hold just under 2L each and I decided to not attach them to the tank but to leave them mobile for ease of cleaning and refilling.

Here they are installed....

Not a great pic sorry.

So my water capacity went from about 5gal to about 30g a much needed increase.

Really nice build but I'd like to see you do something about the light rack it looks like to much metal. Maybe just hang the lights individually

Thanks for the feedback. It actually looks like way less metal in person. I like it because it gives me flexibility to move, add or god forbid change lights without having to drill any extra holes in the ceiling.
