Local stores for water containers?

[reeferjw]

I am finally moving into the RO/DI arena, but I do not have as heavy a load as most of you folks. At the moment I am running a 20gal reef and a 45gal planted cichlid tank. I have been looking at containers from US Plastic, but I would really like to just see some storage containers in person to get a feel of what I want and what will fit in the space that I want to use.

Is there anywhere in town that I could see some examples? Preferable on the North side? I have yet to even look at Home Depot or Ace, but I was even thinking about a Tractor Supply co in Cherokee. Any thoughts?

Ijust use the garbage cans, it is a little ghetto but it works...

Yeah, that is probably the easiest way to go. I will be using one for the waste water, to use for watering the plants. I am probably only going to make 10-20 gallons RO/DI at a time, so I was figuring that an airtight water container would be worth looking into.

I used the 7 gallon camping section ones for years. If you're making larger volumes, the Rubbermade Brute 44 gallon is the industry standard.
