water storage

[reefnutt]

hello want to know if anyone has any input on what to store ro water in right now I am using a 30gal rubbermaid trash can just wondering if I should be using this or not and also if not if anyone knows where to get the right storage container for water? thanks

Many people use a Brute trashcan, i think that's a Rubbermaid can. Should be fine. I've found that if it's salt water storage, i have to run a powerhead in there to keep it from getting smelly. Everyone has assured me the smell means nothing, the water will keep for weeks if covered with a tight lid.

I use a 35 gal rubbermaid tub and have for many years.

250 gallon plastic tank but I keep it at salinity rather than RO. Automatic recirculation and heated to 76 degrees.
