are you looking for the square ones? I've seen them at home Depot

 

[Russell Bennett]

really looking for any suitable option. Going to be gone a week and want try and make sure tank sitter doesn't have to full with water

gotcha...they have these in different sizes n colors Rubbermaid Commercial Products 20-Gal. Brute Storage Tote in White-RCP 9S31 WHI - The Home Depot

do you know of anything thing I should be worried about when deciding on an option aka does it need to be food grade etc

 

[Trio91]

they do have a food grade line, but if its just for plain, RO/DI water i wouldn't worry about it. Id be concerned if you were using it to lets say dose Kalk as it could corrode the plastic.

for me, i used HDX 17 Gal. Storage Tote in Black (6-Pack)-HDX17GONLINE(6) - The Home Depot for when i went away on vacation and it worked just fine

what i normally do is give it the "squeeze test".....meaning that i try to gauge to see if a particular container will be strong enough to hold water. if it feels flimsy to you, then id walk away.

i have actually cured rocks in this container recently and it worked out fine....they sell them in singles for about $8per container
