water change question

[sigshane]

Hey all. I am getting ready to improve the way I do water changes, from the backbreaking way of 5-gallons at a time to something a little less physically demanding. I need some product suggestions to make it happen.

Has anyone used plastic outdoor type trash cans for holding water being pumped out of and/or into the tank? And if so, can you recommend to me a brand? I have read that some of them may</em> split apart if they are even partially filled with water.

Is there another, immediately or readily available (Augusta area) water containment solution I could use for this purpose?

Thanks all,

Brute trash cans are tried and true, and you can find them at the home improvement stores.

Echoing the others, I have 2 brutes tied together to hold around 80+ gallons of new salt water.

Make sure you get ones that are food grade. Go ahead and pick up the roller for it as well.
