From the stand to the wall is only 4.75 inches and there is plugs also to consider. Not doing any dosing (or kalk).
2 options:
1.)Looking at these 7G water camping containers.

2.) Bought a 40G breeder that I was gonna cut to a customized size to suit my needs. Only problem is getting water from the 5G jug into the top-off tank with the space constrainants.
There's alot of smart people on this board. Looking for you help/experience. Input on my thoughts on using the Kent float valve would also be appreciated. Are the Tunze ATO worth the $$$'s |
In the summer you will lose a lot more water every day. do you have a closet or something close buy you could put a 40 gal container in and then just plumb a small water line to the tank?
I had 110 gal res for top off and it was nice only haveing to top it off ever 2 or 3 weeks.
