I feel the same way. This time I just bought a 10g tank for $13 and called it a day. With my 40B that should last me about 2-3weeks of top off

I have food grade tubing, is this only food grade when pumping dry food around?“Food grade” means it seals to keep contaminants out. It’s meant to hold dry food, not water.
Is this more of a flat square "tough" storage box?you can use anything you want but that is made ONLY for aquarium top off water. Do you trust a regular container or one made for a reef tank?
That’s the argument except in case it’s reversed.
I use a 10 gallon tuff box.
It is ridiculous what some companies are charging for plastic items , tanks and stands considering the materials. This is a great example plus the smaller plastic items like filter holders - $30 when a similar item for another use could be $1 at the dime store.Can someone tell me what makes EShopps plastic water reservoir cost $165 CAD? What makes it so great? I mean the dimensions are great but still!!!!
Sorry just venting
Another option is the larger water containers at the LFS that are sold to carry your water back and forth. The one near me sells them for $13.7 gallon Reliance aquatainer is a good option. 20$.... And the size is perfect. Wish they made 10 gallon ones but 7 does fine.
I already made a makeshift cover for itMuch safer with a glass tank than Tupperware. Good choice! You could probably cut a piece of acrylic to make a cover for it too!

Marketing? Certain plastics like Tupperware are known to degrade over time and leach stuff into water. Ever notice how water that has been in a water bottle sitting in your car for awhile tends to get a funny taste. Yup, that’s plastic. I use the IM hydrofill reservoir. I went with it because it’s glass and is convenient for me. It fits perfectly in my stand and has a drawer that pulls out for refilling. Also has a read ball float to show water level. It was only $100 and I bought it when it was on sale for $80. The extra money is worth not having to take the reservoir out of my stand or deal with siphons and water spilling.
I had this reservoir for a short while. I noticed a film building up on the bottom panel. I emptied the reservoir and wiped it with paper towel. The towel turned pink. The pink float they used was leaching into the ATO water. I didn’t know if it would have any adverse affects on the tank so I reached out to IM, they never responded to my email. I decided to trash it. Just wanted to let you know in case you ever see the same film. I have a Trigger Systems Crystal 5 gallon ATO. Got it on sale for $75-80, don’t exactly remember. It’s perfect and I like seeing the water usage.
Yes - exactly - I got something like this but a 40 gallon -Try an RV water storage tank. I’ve got a 17g square tank with all sorts of outlet options for about $40. Check out amazon for RV water storage tanks.
Me too!I use a dog food storage container works perfectly.
