Water storage volume?

[Delphinus88]

How much water do you keep on hand, ready for water changes?  What percentage of your total volume do you have mixed and ready to go?

I have three, 7g containers that I keep full but usually end up using one of them for drinking water. I'm moving up to a 75g (from 50g) and will have to figure something else out.

You can ne'er have enough RO/DI , and saltwater on hand - IMO

 

If you could have 50% ready made saltwater and 50% RO/DI water ready I think you can handle most reeding issues besides a broken tank. IMO.

I have only about 20% saltwater mixed and ready at full capacity but I run it out before making more. I do smaller but more often water changes to help prevent temp and PH swing. Now RODI I have enough to last 1.5 weeks for when I go out of town. Just make sure your top is designed not to siphon

Agree with this.

I have two 30 gallon Rubbermaid cans. One I keep filled with RODI the other I keep filled with a salt mixture. I have heaters in both tanks and circulation pumps in both as well. That way I have either ready and at a Temp I can use without worry about shocking g my fish..

Are you just using the Brute cans? I'm thinking about going with a pair of 20g cans.
