Hello everyone. Just curious what everyone is using for RO and Premix storage. Took over part of my house for strictly aquariums and am trying to get all set up. Thank you in advance for the guidance.

The 5 gallon buckets Lowes sells are "food grade". I don't know how many gallons you want to store. I use a few of these buckets, because they're easy to move around and carry between tanks. My tanks are in different rooms though. I have an RODI unit, so it's not like I have to run anywhere to get more water if I get low.

Hello and thank you. I actually have a room that is 10x10 that I am turning into my reef room, frag room etc. Within the next two weeks my total water folume for this system will be 280 gallons. I want to store enough water for water changes but want one storage for pre mix and one storage for RODI. Getting ready to install my frag room sink and 7 stage 200 gpd rodi system.
