I have been using a 55 gallon barrel for my ATO reservoir for about a year now. It was formerly used to store car wash detergent. I cleaned it out very well but after a year of use and constant issues keeping corals alive I am starting to suspect this barrel. I'm just trying to eliminate variables that could be the problem.
So on to the question, local brew supply store gave me a 55 gallon barrel that was used to store propylene glycol. It's my understanding that this is a food grade chemical that should be safe even if a small amount leaches out of the plastic.
Would you trust this barrel? I'm trying to solve issues, not create them.
