I got a 46g rubbermaid garbage can with the casters you can get for them. Simply put a pump (with hose) in it. You can then easily move a lot of water around. You can drop the pump in your tank to pump water out. Then put the pump in the garbage can to pump water back in.

You can also get 15g water containers, typically for food storage, to store RO water in. Macey's usually sells them. They are hard to move when full...but if you have the 46g can on wheels it works great.]]> Fri, 14 Sep 2012 12:44:40 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59038&PID=485547&title=ro-di-water-containers#485547 <![CDATA[RO/DI Water Containers : I have a bunch of these that...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59038&PID=485472&title=ro-di-water-containers#485472 Author: Melissa

I have a bunch of these that I got at walmart for like $9

Reliance Products Aqua-Tainer 7 Gallon Rigid Water Container
I use 2 for saltwater and the rest for topoff water.
They stack nicely and I like the spigot for when I only need a cup or so of water.

And they are also part of my workout plan since I have to carry them downstairs from being filledWink

I have purchased 2 clear 5 gallon jugs from my LFS, which has been enough to support my two small tanks, but obviously I need to buy a few more now.  The cost of those jugs from my LFS is pretty high (close to $9 each).  Is there someplace cheaper to buy them?  I do like their jugs though -- they have a handle for carrying them and a cap on that op that opens to a decent sized opening for pouring out water.]]> Thu, 13 Sep 2012 16:27:55 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59038&PID=485469&title=ro-di-water-containers#485469 <![CDATA[RO/DI Water Containers : BobC63 wrote:If the Brute can...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59038&PID=485468&title=ro-di-water-containers#485468 Author: Molli

Well I plan to get a cart on wheels to roll the new salt water close to my tank.  Do you pump the water out of the water container to the sump?  So much to figure out here when I'm no longer dealing with my little Biocube!]]> Thu, 13 Sep 2012 16:25:17 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59038&PID=485468&title=ro-di-water-containers#485468 <![CDATA[RO/DI Water Containers : If the Brute can is too big for...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59038&PID=485465&title=ro-di-water-containers#485465 Author: BobC63
