One hidden in a cabinet or one that looks nice is what I want to see. The one you bring out every time that has three cables tangled in front of the tank and on the side of the bucket is not the one I want to see.

I really am growing weary of taking it out every time. I have to do it quickly and simply.

Its not terribly exciting but you asked for it.
So you said 5 gallon mixing station but you're going to have to scale the same idea down if you want to borrow it. I live in a condo and keep a standard 120 gallon talk so I have to be smart about the space i use and don't like staring at extra things related to the tank. This was my solution...
I keep a 35 gallon water storage container that has lines from the closet it sits in behind my dishwasher into my ato storage, a 10 gallon tank that lives under my kitchen sink. There is only one line coming from the storage tank that runs to a manifold with valves so i can either run water directly to the tank or fill the ato tank depending on requirement.
This typically is only filled with RODI which is also tucked away under my sink cabinet and can either directly fill the ato tank or can fill the water tank.
All that sits inside is a maintenance pump to push the water, 2 powerheads and a 300w heater.
The distance between the water tank and the display is about 15 feet and its kept me bucket free for the last 5 years when i dreamed it all up.
Enjoy!
