Why can I use tap water for a reef tank?

[Dani3d]

My rubbermaid brutes both eventualy failed and floaded my floor.

 

They have some sort of weak link (molding in it) and that eventualy failed under the pressure because the plastic in that molding is much thiner.

 

I then went on and buy large 45 gallons food jar (well desinfected with bleach) and they are food grade, very thick food grade plastic and they cost me less than 10$ each. Bargain

 

Those are food grade, cheap and sturdy...no leak in that.

Make a butt load of water in one shot! Put a 55g rubbermaid brute on casters and fill it up once. That should last a while.
