Transporting Water?

[db366]

So I am more than likely 99% sure I am upgrading this weekend. I will be going from a 29 gallon tank to a 60 plus sump so lets say 70 gallons. I know I am gonna need 60 ish gallons of water. I don't have a RODI unit, anyone got any good ideas of how I can get that amount of water transported from a fish store home?

Anyone wanna rent out a unit for about 3-4 days??

I have one you can use with a booster. Im not sure how good everything is as i got it from Jeremy. More then welcome.

Probably better than tap water? I think im gonna take you up on that. How much would you like?

 

[KrisDeitz]

free to borrow bro lol use it since im not. My tank is so small i just buy the water.

Sweet, I'll PM you later about the details. Still figuring everything out about when I am picking up the new tank and such.

 

[KrisDeitz]

No problem. Like i said im not sure how great the filters are but it should all work.

this is how I was going to do it. I have this 26gal potable tank and I also have another one that's 25gal. I have a wagon that it will fit in. hook it to a car battery and it pumps away.

Watch those metal connections. They may leach into the water.

I never used it. I bought a RO/DI unit.

when we set up my friends tank we went to walmart and bought a bunch of the 5 gallon gas cans and used those. they work great for water transporting though u have to buy a bunch. ill be honest.. after we used them ,she let them dry out and them returned them. :-

my LFS has loaner 5gal containers. you put down a deposit and get it back when returned. this helps on a large fill up. their salt water is 1.25gal. I think it's at 1.022 - 1.023 with ph at 8.2.
