    so I am still putting together my 210 gal reef tank. I have a question will this work for storing large amounts of Ro/di water.

    Toter 96-Gallon Greenstone Granite Indoor/Outdoor Garbage Can Shop garbage cans at Lowes.com: Search Results

    i found it at lowes it is a reasonable price at $89. I know the Brute rubbermade pails are used but the big one is only 55 gal. and the 95 gal is $214 . i was going to use the toter 96 gallon for bulk water and the 55 gal brute for mixing my salt water and doing water changes. any suggestions on large water storage. thanks

    The Brutes are used because the Gray, White and Yellow ones are USDA food safe so they won't leach chemicals into the water.

    Check your local craigslist for food service containers. Mine always seems to have 55 blue drums and 500L tanks for sale for cheap.
