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.
 
35 gallon horizontal tanks through Amazon - great price delivered. I do 20 gallon changes. Works pretty well. The right side I keep full of RODI. Then I mix it in the left tank. Hope that helps.

Tractor supply has these tanks. Looks like that will be my setup also. What water pump are you using between those tanks.
 
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.
