Cheap rodi water tanks?

D_Nyholm · Mar 8, 2017

I found a spot in my house that would work well for a rodi tank station. Wondering if anyone has any leads or information on where to get a tank that would be a max of 25" wide, 10" front to back, and height doesn't matter? I only need a 20 gallon or so tank to care for my 28 cube and 50 gallon frag tank.

Any help is appreciated.

Your looking at a Marineland 10 gallon tank. 20 L x 10 W x 12 H

I used a blue Rubbermaid recycling can and lid from Home Depot. Holds 23 gallons and fit perfectly between my solar hot water heater tank and a work bench. I placed it on a home made stand about 18" high and installed a bulkhead and ball valve close to the bottom so I can fill jugs or buckets for water changes. My float switches are set about 12" apart so the RO/DI has to make a minimum of 11 gallons of water each cycle so it stays well flushed.

Yeah, I saw your recycling can which made me realize I could probably fit one. Only problem is supporting it from bowing over time. I guess I could build a 2x4 brace around it.

Any idea what the dimensions are? I wouldn't mind going a little wider and thinner if possible since it will be in a thin utility/plumbing closet.
