    Quick question; if I am storing 55 gal of RO/DI water in a drum, how do i keep it from going stagnent?

    1. Use just a bubbler?
    2. Use a powerhead (K -4)
    3. Use a pump.

    What do you use?

    i think surface disturbance is probably the most important, i use a powerhead but a bubble should work just as well

    To piggyback another question onto this thread, does it need to have a top, or just be moving?

    the top would help keep the crap out! Ya power head would work fine i think .... just wasnt too sure. I imagine the K4 would be lots.
