True, Rubbermaid is great!
Caution: The larger sizes (55 gallon) WILL CRACK ON BOTTOM AND LEAK! They must be lined with sheet plastic to avoid disaster. Smaller sizes, made of less rigid plastic and dealing with less H2O pressure, work without fail.
Happy Hydro Growing!

Why did you do away with your pump? Have you noticed a significant change in growth. Maybe I'll do the same

Pimpin, Man. When you get rid of your pump, your level of salts may build more than with it. Im just kind of stoned so I may not be telling you anyting useful, but when the water is evaporating and refilled without the stirring motion the pump would provide there will be more of a tendency for the salts to coat the sides of the container thicker. I guess. My reservoirs have been getting thinner scum when I have a bubbler in them, agitating the water some.
