RO / DI storage container

[Paul C.]

Hey fellow reefers. Im starting the upgrade. Starting the build in the cellar with the sump/refuge/WC set up. Im looking for a 75-125 gallon storage container. Like the vertical cylinder types, but will look at something like the horizontal types. Can find them, but shipping is more expensive than the container. Ideas, thoughts, or something for sale?? Lets talk. Paul C.

I hear a lot of people just use the Brute brand trash cans.

I found a 55gallon food grade storage container on craigslist. The company made lotions and were storing aloe in them. Think it was like $20!

Thanks guys. I was looking for something larger. Say 75, 100, 125 gal. Like one of the cylinder type storage units. But buying for 150 ish, and paying another 150 to ship seems a little much.

Paul I know where a 250 gallon storage barrel is. It's in northwest Arkansas and is in good shape. I can talk with the owner to see what he wants for it if you'd be interested. It may be to far to ship it. It has a float valve at the top and a bulkhead in the bottom already.

Loki, Thanks for thinking of it. I mean, shipping will be 150ish, and im sure he'd want more than 50 or so bux for it. If it isnt to much troubles, if you think of it, could u ask how much he wants for it? Thanks Paul C.

Got any tractor/farm supply stores within a reasonable drive? They often have 100+ gallon water storage containers. I have seen folks pipe two 55 gallon drums together to give them 110 gallons of storage.
