Slim trash as water Reservoir

[shahprincea]

Hi Guys,

I have a limited space 10 1/4 and i need to have a reservoir for mixing salt water and if I can parition I can also hold RO Water.

I was thinking of buy Jum Slim Trash. However, the width is 11 inch. Can i trip the lip on either end ??? will it impact its capacity to hold 23 gallon in any ways ?

You can mod the container in any way you like. My concern would be the material that the container is made of and if it will leech chemicals out into your water and tank.

oh I never though about it. Any suggestion how to avoid it or any brand which is known to not leak chemicals.

You want to use something labeled safe for human consumption. Then you should definitely be in the clear.

I use a dog food container
They are food safe and are slim and fit in a sump area under a tank

I bought a trashcan at Big Lots for 5 dollars and used it for a year. Nothing died.

I have used the slim one (grey) took it back because it bowed way to hard

Other option is to use fish tanks and make a rack like this

Anything made by Brute is usually good. Isn’t the prettiest solution, but, I’ve always been about function, personally.

Ya I will go with Brute in that case

I’m using the blue slim Brute right now; it bows when 2/3 full .... I’d post pics from my iPhone but they seem to be huge :confused:
