GHill762 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 oooh.. the eshopps containers are nice.. wish the ato container was a little bigger though.. Link to comment
theishkid Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Can someone please explain the added value of the eshopp containers? I've seen these on a few tanks and I've always been curious what the need is to spend money on those rather than a simple 5 gallon jug. Link to comment
Boggers Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 looks pretty and has a shutoff already added to it. Sure you can go ghetto and place a 5 gallon bucket with a lid next to your tank, drill it and be good. Some have to see it and want it to look nice as well. just my $0.02 Link to comment
GHill762 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 yup.. I'm using a 7 gallon drinking water jug from walmart, serves its purpose but it's unsightly sitting next to the tank.. if I could find something relatively cheap in the 5-10 gallon range that stood up taller and looked a little nicer I'd probably buy it.. purely aesthetics..

theishkid Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Ok thanks for the info. I guess since I'm getting an all in one and have space in my stand it wouldn't really have much value… especially since I would just have to swap out jugs and not keep filling up a reservoir. Link to comment

During the winter it last a few weeks but right now during the summer the cooling fan is on like all day, and the new metal halide isn't helping. Link to comment
