So, spent quite a while looking for the perfect container that would fit into the stand and be able to go in and out. I found this at Wal-Mart. It's a letter size filing cabinet box. Fit perfectly! I bought 2 since they stacked nicely and I could use the bottom one to elevate the actual reservoir tank.
Here it is with the bulkhead installed. The one that I ordered online leaked. Strange since it didn't leak in between the bulkhead, but rather from the quick connect. Maybe a got a bad one, since I've seen people using a similar piece for theres. Anyway, I ran to Lowes and bought a quick-connect to threaded adapter and then siliconed it in. Luckily too the nut from the first bulkhead fit around the 3/4" threaded end to secure it to the case.
Valve installed if doing any maintenance...
And here is the EShopps float valve that I bought. The bracket is very nice and adjustable. My only problem right now is that I have it setup in the center section of my sump. I'm not really sure that the level here changes much, since it seems that the return pump section is where I'm losing water... however this may be because I didn't have the auto-top off working yet...
Reservoir in place.
Here's the shot showing everything.
