brute trash can, comes in 10-20-32-44-55 gal
I use the 32 and 44 with the caster/roller attachment on the bottom so i can
easily wheel em around,

they don't carry the 55 in my area

Yes I was going to suggest a trash can, maybe one with wheels that would be nice since the last rez I had was a 50+ gal ice chest.. or maybe even a slim Jim would work.... thanks

I have a 600 gallon tank, works very well.

I couldn't find a rez short enough for what I needed(flood and drain tables in a room with just under 6 foot head room), so I laid out some rubber roofing and put two plastic kiddie pools stacked in each other. It holds roughly 40 gallons, but it is only 10 inches tall. I plan on replacing them every other harvest, or when they get too dirty.

I just switched over to a 55 gallon blue drum that auto feeds my reservoirs but I was wondering about the water getting stale do I have to aerate the 55 gallon drum or should I use some type of circulation pump or both

100 Gallon toter from lowes about 100 bucks. Can't be moved once you pass the 25 gallon mark.

Depends on the grow.. anything from square containers to 50 gallon trash cans. I like square stuff too.. easier to seal if I gotta run a float in the container.. or punch a hole in it for a line. etc..

I do prefer HDPE plastic or food grade plastics.

I use a 550 gal black poly storage tank from tanks direct I believe? Or am i just getting confused from all the gas..

But I picked up a dope ass 200 gallon nalgene tank off craigslist with lid for a 100 bucks from some paint company. Took a little elbow grease to clean, but all that really was in it was some hard water deposits.

A for effort in the spelling of reservoir ; ) Those french ones are tough. I just became comfortable writing "entrepreneur" "repertoire" after using the words for at least 10 years.

Anyway, when I tried setting up a DTW system I used an 18 gallon "roughneck" tote. I had it outside the flower room with pvc connections on either side of the wall for connections.

I tend to my garden daily and feel comfortable hand watering. I bought all the parts, made a manifold and got it up and running just wasnt 100% comfortable with it yet. Im going to give it another shot next run. I like the multiple feeding capability with automated systems.

My biggest problem was finding a decent timer that worked with intervals of seconds.
