Alright, I want to buy an RO unit and set it up so that its as easy as possible to do a 30 gallon water change weekly on my 75 gallon tank? How should I do this?

The rules:
No drilling holes in the wall (can't do a constant automatic water changer)
Can't spend more than $300 on the unit and accessories. That's at maximum, I'd much prefer to spend less.
The unit and any water storage has to be hidden away or in the garage.
Has to stop when the storage tank is full.


So what I was thinking is have it store in a tank with a float valve, and have a pump fill the aquarium.
Problem with that: If the tank was in the garage it would be 4-6 ft below the water level in the aquarium, can I can't afford to spend too much on a pump.

What else can be done?
