big plastic containers

[vitor]

What do you guys use to store your RO/DI water in? I'm looking for some kind of container about 30-50g with a lid. Does it need to be food grade? I'm trying to find something somewhat cheap because I already spent about 2-3 times my budget just setting up this tank. Thanks.

You can find them all over, just depends on the size and shape you are looking for. I got a 55gallon Rubbermaid container at Home Depot for my freshwater storage and then a couple of 31gallon tubs from Lowe's for mixing saltwater. There is also the restaurant supply places that carry various sizes that are food-grade. If you have room for a barrel, there are a couple places you can find those as well.

One of the Maast sponsors, AquaFX, has high quality storage tanks...

That looks like a pretty good deal unless you have to start dressing like that guy.
