When I use to do 15 gallon water changes, I used a 20 gallon Brute trash can. I now do 25 gallon water changes and use 2 32 gallon Brutes....one for new saltwater and one to hold the old water I pull out of the DT. Both Brutes have the dolly wheels, making movement very easy.

Rubbermaid makes lots of sizes. I have 2 that are about 15 gallons to the top. Got them a while back at Walmart.

35 gallon horizontal tanks through Amazon - great price delivered. I do 20 gallon changes. Works pretty well. The right side I keep full of RODI. Then I mix it in the left tank. Hope that helps.

Those are Norwesco 35 gallon. The pump is a Jebao DCT-4000. Plenty of power to push the RODI water into the salt mixing tank and later it pushes the mixed water through a 5/8" x 50' white RV hose to my display tank.
