Salt water supply
 
What does everybody keep as a resevoir for their premixed salt. Right now I am using aquariums, but I am wondering if there is something better out there.

Thanks

I use a garbage can with wheels so I can roll it right up to the tank.

What brand? I would just be a bit wary of the thing exploding.

Just a big Rubber maid 25G trashcan, less then $20.00 at Canadian Tire.
Build a little trolly for it to sit on.

It is a rubbermaid 35gal, I have been using it for almost 3 years now I am not worried at all.

I use a Lee Valley 50g rain barrel with stand and a tap at the bottom but I can't find it on their site now. I added a float valve for the RO/DI.

32 gal Brute garbage can

I got a rigid plastic laundry tub at superstore I really like. It holds 20 gal and has a little line around the inside right at 10 gal, really handy for mixing up just the right volume.

Cost 6.99 or something like that.

I use a clear 20 gal sterilite container. measured off volumes and marked them on the side, easy to know how much volume I'm mixing. The plastic is quite thick and solid. The sides bow out when full but I can still place the lid on it to keep crud out.
