hey everyone,
been crazy busy with reprioritizing the rest of my life, but hoping to get a bit of time in the near future to work on trying to automate more of my tank (a necessity right now for me to try to stay in the hobby).
so seems like a pretty simple question: wondering what people are using for storing water? i know i've seen some folks locally and online using big plastic garbage cans for water changes, ato, etc.
i'm hoping to get a couple ~40-50 gallon containers (one for ATO, other for salt water changes) and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on what types of containers to buy, where to buy, what others have done (i heard some people say any plastic trash can is fine, others talked about food grade containers, or particular brands that didn't crack, etc).
also, i know that people say that salt mix water should have a small pump going. is this also necessary for RODI water for ato?
thanks in advance for any advice.
