water storage

[reefer newby]

What type of plastic containers are safe for salt water storage and mixing ?

Well having just gone through a GHA outbreak due to my water storage / mixing container I would go with the 32 gallon Brute trash can in grey. The other colors could raise your TDS and leach phosphates into the stored water. If the container is food safe you should also be safe.

Clean them out really well when you get them.

I've always used grey Brute and many others have as well.
