Does anyone have measurements for gallon increments in a 44 gal or 55 gal brute can? I don’t really need to know every single gallon but it would be nice to be able to measure say 12” and know that’s my 10 gallon mark or whatever. I figured I’d ask before I start adding a gallon at a time and lose count 37 gallons in

There's some websites I found through Google that got close. I ended up just using a 5 gallon bucket to get my baseline. In 1 1/2 hours I get about 4 gallons from my rodi so when filling the brute I just figure that measurement in. Not exact but when doing water changes I know how high to fill my bucket and how many times.

@Bam327 i did the same as @Jekyl I filled the Brute up in 5G increments. I’d offer my measurements but I have a 32

what do you all use to mark the increments? inside or outside? mines a grey brute, which is not transparent enuogh to see the water line.

not sure if there's special ink or marker that is reef safe
