Dam $100 for a container? Glad is saved $90 by going to the ole Home Depot lolI bought one of the new Red Sea containers. Holds 10 gallons for 100.00.
Fits in sump stand. Takes up less room than the 5 gallon bucket I was using.

A white 5 gallon bucket with a notch in the lid.Is an option like the Innovative Marine Hydrofill a good idea or a waste of money over a more basic bucket or container option?

Mine would have gone in the stand, but I don’t have room.Dang that’s awesome and smart. Mine just sits under my tank in the stand. Gotta step my game up
If you have an RODI unit nearby why not just put the solenoid directly into your sump and avoid the Tupperware container altogether?I've got a just an extra like Tupperware container we had in the house. Drilled a few holes for tubes and cords, ran a water line directly from my ro/di that is controlled by a solenoid so it auto-fills!
A standard 10 gallon tank with a lid is what i use too. They're cheap, easy to find, was proportionally correct for the space i have and the ability to easily see the waterline is underrated.Lol I'm omw to petco now for a 10 gal tank. Been using a bucket for a while. I've been searching and I just can't find a 10 gal container that fits my space for cheaper...With a glass lid with cutouts for tube/wires ~$50. Still more than half the price of the cheapest acrylic I found...
there are a few reasons to keep your reservoir,If you have an RODI unit nearby why not just put the solenoid directly into your sump and avoid the Tupperware container altogether?
My ro/di unit is about 25' away. I don't have the solenoid dump directly into the sump because it would be turning on and off many times a day for very short periods of time, it only takes 30-45 seconds to top off the sump. That can lead to tds creap and early depletion of the di resin.If you have an RODI unit nearby why not just put the solenoid directly into your sump and avoid the Tupperware container altogether?
I'm sure if you have the money and it fits perfectly.Is an option like the Innovative Marine Hydrofill a good idea or a waste of money over a more basic bucket or container option?
I use this on my 66 gallon tank. 12-15 years and still running strong.Pet food 10 gallon dry food storage bin from Amazon 25 bucks works and look’s good
