^^^Nicely done as usual Warren!
I use a Vittles Vault Outback 50 from Petsmart (13 gallons). Lasts 16 days on a 50 gallon tank just had to cut a hole in the lid for the cord and hose

Want a bigger storage tank ?

55g drum is the solution

Craigslist search 55g drum

Removable top is the best

Those big used plastic 55gal barrels are cheep and awesome if you have the room. We use them to collect rain water for gardening. But one won't fit under my tank so I use a simple plastic 15gal garbage can which holds about 5 days worth. What made the biggest difference for me was running the line from my RO/DI directly to it and replenishing it every couple of days by having a solenoid switch on and off on a timer (apex controller). The can also has a float valve to prevent overflowing and so far there have been no issues and a lot less bucket brigading. In our old rental I was able to run the line across the ceiling which was unfinished. In the new house the line is routed through the crawl space and hidden behind the baseboard trim.

FILUR bins at ikea are great I have 2 beside each other one for top up and one for fresh salt water , I have the 11 gallon ones and they dont bow at all and have a small foot print so it will fit in a smaller space.
