Mobile Bay Reef Keepers

background: I'm thinking about moving from 30, one gallon jugs, to something a little more manageable... I also want to do a one time "fill" on this resevoir every few weeks, to keep my RO membrane from getting used to quick, and have the resevoir feed my reef aquarium. I'm gonna get a 30 or 55 gallon drum to store in, from the flea market.

The million dollar question: where do you keep your large freshwater resevoir? Is verying temp a problem, do I need to keep it inside, in the garage, what?

Thanks for any replies,

We use our laundry room

I don't have a big tank but I used a 20 gallon Brute container in my laundry room which is not air conditioned. I don't think high temp is a problem unless you dump a bunch of hot water in your tank at one time.

I use 10 5gal water jugs like from abita springs....found them on sale at walll mart for less than 5 bucks each...could use unused gas cans also......the key is unused....also keep 50 gal in the ole coke barrles as suggested. total 100gal

I use one 30 gallon ex-cola plastic barrel for top off water... located in a closet beside my tank(room temp)........ with the top off line going through the wall to the float valve in the sump/

3 Gallon pressurized containter attached to RO unit.
