I use those pre mixed nutrisea containers. They hold almost 5 gallons, see through, safe, easy to fill, and very inexpensive.

I use cereal containers from Walmart (I think about 1 gallon). What I like about these is the large mouth opening, making it easy to refill from the gallon jugs of alk and calc I make.

Looks good...I bet you don't have to refill them too often...since I'm new to dosing, I assume that once properly dissolved that the components don't settle out/precipitate over time? or do these larger dosing containers need a quick shake every once in a while?

Liters, all of them. Helps me visualize how many days of dosing left and how many liters of the mix I need in order to fill the containers.
I should have been more specific, what is the size of the actual container?

Might depend on what your using, i use triton and theres a little precipitation but not much at all. I don't typically shake them but i do heat up the water when i mix the alk portion to dissolve it better.
