12 gallon salt mixing container?

[Spiffyguy]

Any suggestions on something I can use to mix up salt water in. Normally I just do 5 gallons in a bucket but I am doing 20% to get rid of some cyno and it takes quite a bit to heat up the 4 gallons in the bucket and then dump that out and do another batch. So I am looking for something that I could do at least 10 gallons in. Hopefully it could be marked out in gallon increments. any suggestions?

Don't laugh...trash can. Cheap and can get them to hold anywhere from 5 to 50 gallons

i have a 32 gallon brute but that is overkill for what I need. I thought regular trashcans were not safe to use? Same with basic rubbermaid containers.

White kitchen garbage can.... 13 gal, give or take a couple.

I have always used regular rubbermade containers

From what I understand any rubbermaid containers are okay to use as long as the water is not sitting in it for a long time since over time thy can possibly leak things into the water...

DOes anyone know for sure since I use a christmas wrapper holding container???

a Christmas paper holder would probably be a very good fit. you can see through and with some creative sharpie markings you can be precise.

Ive used mine for over a year (xmas paper holder)

so using my 45gal rubbermade brute trash can for the RO water is a problem? I know I can taste the plastic in the water, but will it affect my aquarium? The water does sit in it awhile before I use it, should I invest in something different??

from what I understand the brutes are ok it is the regular non brutes that are the question i guess.
