So hubbys  setting up RODI system with  35 gallon water storage tank and im trying to decide where to go from there....do I get a 20 gallon container to mix saltwater??? Do I just work out of my 5 gallon buckets??? Show and explain how you have yours set up so I can give my hubby some ideas. This is for a 75G aquarium

I’d have to do some digging for a pic of my old set up. Now I just order my water from Amazon. 

 

Personally i I think it’s best to have some water made up. Back in the day I used to like to have half my water volume made up and ready to go, in case of emergencies.

Here is a thread in mine.  I still don't have the automation done to my RODI but this has worked well for me.

ok so if I get a 20 gallon container and keep it full of mixed salt water.....how long is it good for?

It should be good for a long time. If you are doing regular water changes, I would think you would go through 20 gallons way before you ever had to worry about the water going bad ( if it really even goes bad).

It will be good indefinitely. I always kept a heater and powerhead in the mixing container.
