Anything safe for potable water is fine.

Just a regular plastic garbage can (new of course) has worked great for me. I like the idea of being able to reach into the container to clean it, and a large opening makes the mixing of my salt much easier.

How have you "prepared" the garbage can for it to be reef/food safe?
