Looking to buy Water storage containers

[rogergolf66]

Something to consider about clear plastic.
I do not have any experience with saltwater or DI containers, but we did have a lot problems with algae with clear tubing, and containers, where I use to work.

U mean because of light getting into the barrels ?

Yes, all the tubing and tanks, turn into a light brown film coating.

I use translucent white barrels for my rodi storage. As long as only 0 tds water goes in I have no problems. I did get some brown growth which eventuallytturned green after not putting the lid on for several months and not changing di resin for almost 2 years. I bleached out the barrel, replaced the filers, membrane, and resin to get back to only 0 tds water again a few months ago and everything has stayed clear since. Pretty sure nothing can grow in 0 tds water. My barrel is in a screen porch and gets plenty of sunlight.

Thx. Yes first I drove down there but he only has 1 in stock so I looked around every where with no luck, so I called him back and asked him to order me a second one and to switch out the 8in screw on lid to a 16inch screw on lids.

So I will have 2 90 gal barrels white. And if I can get with newbe aquarist I would love one of the 35 gal ones he has for my Kalk setup.
