I store 100g of R/O water at a time. The longest it gets to sit for though without use is about 5-6 days. I have 0 growth of anything in my bins (40+60g).

I use a polyethelyne bin from a plastics company. Big white thick-walled plastic bins. Hit'em with a hammer full of water or not and they wont break. I've had 2 of 4 rubbermade trash cans leak (although slowly) without even being stressed.

Cheers,

Chris

I picked up a rain barrell from Crappy Tire. It holds 80 Gallons and even has a drain valve on the bottom.

I got my poly tank reservoir at Twin Maples in Abbotsford.

Keep it food grade. There's enough that can go wrong with this hobby without having to worry about toxins leaching from plastic.
