JMO, but...I don't think ANY storage totes are designed to hold liquids. Just that most of them do.

i use one to mix saltwater in. no leaks yet and it's been used since september. thanks for the warning though. i will definitely keep an eye out. i think the fact that it isnt always full, and sometimes doesnt have anything in it at all helps me out.lol

No problem, the ones I was using were just over 1/2 full at most.

Replacement arrived yesterday, pic attached. That should do it :-) $200.00

I have used 2 rubbermaid totes for more than 3 years with no problems.

I have the very head duty large totes from Zellers approx $19 each. You do have to put a support around the top as they will bow. I am currently using one to cure live rock and it works well for that.
