Happy New Year. We recently purchased a 5 stage, 75 gallon/day RO/DI unit from Bulk Reef Supply. We please need advice and/or suggestions for water storage. Thanks in advance

The grey Brute trash cans sold at Home Depot or Lowe's are food safe and perfect for water storage.

+1 on the Brute. Works great. Just make sure you have the water level shut off valve to stop the flow once the can is full.

I used to have the Brute but it was barely enough water for me to do a water change when it was full, so I went to the flea market and bought one of those plastic 55 gallon barrels used for soda syrup. There's a guy that sells them for 15 bucks. Just rinse them out and you're good to go. I added a shut off valve on mine too.

Not a bad idea ^^--should be food-grade PP or PET, so quite suitable for our use.
