Temporary holding tank Q

[dontavo27]

What’s up Reefers. New place is getting tented for 3 days, and was wondering if the Black HDX Home Depot containers would be okay to use for that amount of time As a holding tank. Will be placing these outside of the house and running it from an exterior outlet.
thanks in advance.

i did the same thing and used them when my house got tented. i'd just be careful about filling it too high as they can bow a bit

i'm sure my parents were super psyched to have that mess in their living room for like 2 weeks

Sweet, thanks for the reply brother!
I just hate to buy another tank, and have it sitting around afterward.

You could do what I did. Here is my step by step with a 187g Display and frag tank.

I did see this, but I ended up moving all the livestock out side in a container. I’m hoping this works. Basically moved 70% of the water, all livestock and live rock into the container.
