Just wondering what do other reefers use for both mixing/holding water and for water changes? Want something on wheels (no more hauling)like the big Rubbermaid garbage cans but am wondering how well these work when semi-full of water and if they are safe to use?
I bought one from Walmart but am wondering if it is okay or not??

Brute force containers are good, but I would suggest buying or making a dolly to go under a wheel-less container, Imo where the wheels go on the garbage containers is a weak point.:biggrin:

I'll second that ... I use a Brute trash can with the matching Rubbermaid Brute Dolly.

And these Brute cans/dolly are available where? Home Depot??
So you think the wheels on the wheeled Rubbermaids are not strong enough?

Why don't you just use a pump and a length of hose?

Made up my own dolly with a 2x2' piece of plywood and 4 swivelling casters from HD. Had the plywood but the casters cost about $10 for all.
