Holding Container for Dosing two part?

MHG · 10/26/2011, 06:02 PM

Hey has anyone found a good container to fit behind the stand for dosing two part? I see BES has those narrow jugs but end to end they are sider than my 60g cube. I have a nice 5" ledge behind my tank.

I saw some one with a 3 chamber holding tank, but I think it was custom made...

Anyway if anyone can post photos of what they have squeezed into tight spaces...

I used 2 liter Coke bottles. I drilled a hole in the cap just big enough for the tubing to fit through, and another tiny hole next to it so there was no vacuum created.

I currently use 2 of the bottles that the Seachem Reef Fusion comes in. I drilled the caps and glued in air line couplers. Attached rigid tubing to the bottom of the coupler and the regular airline to the top (to the doser).

I am picking a couple of these up this coming week though:

Thanks. I am thinking square and flat bottom soI may use the square containers that carbon comes in or other media...

Get a hold of GEOSREEF or another acrylic manufacture with your dimensions. I had GEO make me one for RO/DI recently.
