Got annoyed making rodi when I need it, and would like to get something around a 50 gallon bucket that I can just store it in long term. I have found ones without a lid as in its one solid piece, but I am curious if there is one with a lid I can take on and off. Otherwise I’ll probably just go with the ones with the two ports and a sealed top.
 
A Rubbermaid Brute can with a lid works great. You should be able to find one at your local hardware store.
^^^^This.
And, you can even drill holes and add bulkheads/plumbing if you want
 
Not sure how easy it would be to find one local to you but they make these type of drums.

 
Oh, and unless you already have something dedicated to the task, buy the round dolly that goes with the Brute can... You'll thank me later ;)
Lol I was literally just looking at that and thinking the same. Glad to know it’s worth the little extra.

Yes this 100%, just double check the dolly before putting it on the can and filling it with water! We about had a catastrophe in our house because whomever put the wheels in the dolly put it in the wrong hole and it collapsed. Thankfully I noticed it sagging and was able to get a 2x4 under it to prop it up!

Did you know they make a tandem dolly? It is stupid expensive for what it is though.

These are what I use, and they are often cheap on craigslist from recyclers or people who get them from restaurants. Search '55g drum'. I got mine for like 45$ brand new/clean

Can you imagine trying to move that thing with two fully loaded cans of water on it???

Actually it is easy peasy. I am not going to take a video right now but I can to demonstrate.

And on carpet to boot?!?
That may prove to be more challenging. I have only used it on hard surfaces.

I use 2 brute cans. I have one brute dolly and use a small furniture dolly for the other. I like the round one best though since the can tries to slide a little on the carpeted surface of the square one.
 
Could be because I have the 50 gallon brutes with dollies….one of those filled is sketchy to move across laminate floors!
