Is anyone using a 15 gallon or less horizontal tanks. I need to make a small mixing station. I only use 15 gallons for water changes. And about a gallon of make up water a day. So not loiking for anything huge. Im thinking 2 15 gallon tanks for salt water a 1 tank for ready rodi water.
 
When I use to do 15 gallon water changes, I used a 20 gallon Brute trash can. I now do 25 gallon water changes and use 2 32 gallon Brutes....one for new saltwater and one to hold the old water I pull out of the DT. Both Brutes have the dolly wheels, making movement very easy.

Gray ones.:)
 
Rubbermaid makes lots of sizes. I have 2 that are about 15 gallons to the top. Got them a while back at Walmart.
 
Those are Norwesco 35 gallon. The pump is a Jebao DCT-4000. Plenty of power to push the RODI water into the salt mixing tank and later it pushes the mixed water through a 5/8" x 50' white RV hose to my display tank.
