So Brett, one question...I notice on the site that only the grey barrels are listed as Food Safe...are you sure the blue open lid ones are safe?

Yes they are. They have a whole bunch of different ones in their garage (in Edgemont) and the white ones have threaded outlets but had a funky smell. She told me the blue ones are food safe and perfect for this application. She's sold them to other fish folk in the past as well. In the case of these particular ones the food product never even touched the plastic. They also send each barrel thru a washing process with high heat.

Brett - put some RO/DI water in there after you clean it and let it sit there for a couple weeks. then test it for phosphates/ammonia/tds just to be sure.

Oh for sure I still intended to test what I can after I bleach'em. Can't be any worse than my current topoff tank. It's open top and i find bugs fall in all the time...they actually start molding on the bottom of the tank lol.
