Our kitchen is too small for even one garbage can, so the two of them are in my husband's bedroom. And he's not even the aquarist around here. He's a pretty tolerant guy and is prone to giving in during persuasive discussions, plus I cook him food

Actually, we connect a hose to the RO/DI outlet and fill 5g pails until the two cans are full. PITA, but what are you going to do?
