I want to follow TRe advise. and make a simply Gravity fed ATO . for my smal Sump . My sump is Maybe 2.5 Gallons so it needs to be toped of daliy . and some time i forget and my S?G is geting to high so days last night it was .29 .

anyways i did a water change today and slowly lowering it now its .27-.28 after 12 hours . and toping the rest off with ro/di .

does anyone one did this befor ? what kind of bottle do i need . from my reserch you need a firm walled bottle or jug . that is air/water tight . what can i go buy that is not taller that 9 -10 inchs ??? Could i use a 1 gallon plastic jug like what spring or bottled water come in ? or it not firm rnough ?


and what else do i need ? Thanks
