totes

i;m needing to drain my tank and move the tank over one direction about 6 inches. what does everyone recommend? i thought just some basic totes that I can rinse out and utilize for storage later on. something like from target or walmart. its just going to hold the water for a temporary amount of time. what are some good recommendations?

5 gallon buckets from Lowes or Home Depot might be a better option, they're easier to carry and move around and come with lids.

Gotcha. How about a couple of Brute or Rubbermaid trashcans. I use a 55g Brute to mix salt. Works great.

What @SaltyT said, I do the same thing.

not a bad idea then when im done with them I can use them for like grass clipping or something. or to put weeds from my yards in and then move them over to trash bags. then if i need to use them again for any reason. just wash them out clean them up and bam reuse it again for the tank.

Seems like getting the brute cans for that would be a great excuse to use them to make a mixing station when done.

I bought a couple of these when I had to do it. Now my wife stores her "crap" in them.

Little cheaper then brutes, and they don't bow out from the water.
