What to recommend for transporting water from LFS??

[shine~on]

I am setting up a 55 gallon and need to transport all that RO/DI water from the LFS?
What would you recommend or what do you use??
Thanks!

"Brand new" 5 gallon buckets with sealing lids!

 

[shine~on]

are these available at like Home Depot??
Thanks for quick reply

Yep, home depot is where I originally picked some up

Yup...real cheap too. That's what I use. I have 6 Home Depot buckets. Only a few bucks each...

Agreed....grab like 5 or 6. Then after you have transported your water...you can use 1 or 2 for salt/water mixing containers and use the rest for getting RO water from your LFS like I do

7 gal. blue containers from wal mart. They have a spigot on them and after you fill your tank they are nice for topping off with no mess.

My LFS just lets me take home 5 gallon buckets that he gets his IO in knowing I'll return them. Ask your LFS if he/sh will do the same. If not, they aren't being too customer friendly...

we have the 5 gallon kerosene jugs from wal-mart. They are marked and make it and have a handle for easier pouring.
We also have the 7 gallon (I think thats how much) with the
spigot, almost like a gas container. That is really nice for top offs like was already stated.
Cheap too. I think the kerosene in $5.

My LFS sells the 5 gallon buckets with lids that their Corallife salt comes in. Ask if yours does too.
