Hi All,
At the moment I am cycling my tank (only 1 week in).
I am preparing to use EI ferts with a weekly 50% water change.
Having a 230Litre tank I want to store 115Litres, or so, of tap water. 24+ hours of temperature equalisation to room temperature before dosing and adding to the tank. I don't have the room for 4 or 5 30Litre buckets around the house.
I do have shelving behind my tall fridge/freezer. This looks like a prime spot for weekly tap water storage. Shelving can be replaced with sturdier ones.
I am loath to use hot tap water/kettle as this is a waste.
What containers do you use to achieve storage with tap water?
Gerry cans, plastic containers or something else?
Where would you recommend I buy such containers? (I live in Wiltshire, UK)
Many thanks, Brian
