Ato storage ideas

I have limited space under the stand and wanting a storage place for my ato container. About 10x6 space and I would love a tall container. Any ideas
 
I was using this pet food container for a while, but then it cracked when I drilled a hole for a float valve: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=26236

I then started using this trash can: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Sterilite-11-Gal-White-Swing-Top-Trash-Can-10938006/203275719

But then I started to get worried as the walls were quite flimsy. I eventually just got a custom acrylic one made for me by melevs reef: http://melevsreef.com/catalog/ato-reservoir
It's a bit pricey, but I got the exact dimensions I wanted and have piece of mind that it's not going to collapse and burst.
 
I have limited space as well. So I use this "pet food" container I picked up at Target. FYI only holds ~ 4g. Gets me 3 days of topoff.


 
Is there space next to the tank? A small cabinet can house that and other items, also gives people somewhere to set their drink instead of on top of the tank
 
Yeah, I have 10" between my stand and wall, so I found a 10g slim black rubbermaid trashcan and built a cabinet around it that also houses my test kits and tools
