Water Storage ideas ?

[broady1]

Hi,
Just wanting to get some ideas on the water containers other members are using for storage. I change 120 litres twice a week in my 320 litre tank. At the moment I am using 120 l container I bought from bunnings. My idea was to age the water in it but the first time I did it the water had a strong plastic smell. Now I am not game to store the water in it. i just fill it up, adjust with hot water add the required chemicals before pumping it in to the aquarium.

I have read that some people are using wheeli bins. Does anybody else use these.

Thanks for the advice in advance

alot of whellie bins are treated with a fungicide which isn't good for your fish, at bunnings a few members use the $99 green plastic 500L tanks after a good wash and a day or so in the sun, bargin water aging drum at that price.
