Water Storage

We have a 100 gallon water tank for RO and a 75 gallon one for salt water.

 

Vertical poly tanks. I have a 165 for salt and a 105 for ro. If you're planning on doing automatic water changes, I would go big.

 

I use aquariums. 2 -25 cubes r/o and salt mixer and a 55 for salt water storage.

 

Water Tanks, Plastic Tanks, Poly Tanks, Storage Tanks

this is a good place to get containers of all kinds

 

Shipping is expensive though. Theisen’s sells them in their stores. That’s where I got the 165.

 

Currently using a 44 gal Brute for RO and mix in a 30 gal Brute. Works well unless I need a lot of water ASAP.

Like the vertical storage tanks idea as it looks more compact and takes up less space. Probably less evaporation loss too. No Theisen's close but might check TSC or Mills Fleet Farm.

 

@Buku. Do you have to clean those tanks periodically?

 

I got the 165 at the Theisens in Ames.

I havent cleaned them in the past. Certain salts will leave a build up over time though. I know reef crystal is horrible for that.

 

+1 on reef crystals. I've had times where I made up a mix intending to use it within a couple of hours but then been delayed for a day or so. Usually end up with brown precipitate on the bottom of the mixing tub.

 

I use two 65 gallon vertical water storage containers. One for salt and one for rodi . You can have Theisens order them in for you at the store.

 

Do you remember how much it cost roman

 

Atm. I use 44 gallon brute cans

 

Aussie I think they are a little over a hundred each at theisens. They can also get smaller ones as well.

 

I checked some prices online and found the similar vertical tanks at Theisen's and Mill Fleet. Theisen's was considerable less expensive. Price was around $130.
