Just like the titles says. I have 3 barrels that I'm not going to use. (I know there's only two pictured) Free to supporting members.

I'm interested, but I'm not clear how I'd use these for saltwater mixing. Do you?

My plan would be put them on the side of my house. One for RO. One for salt. One I would try and run my gutter downspout to so that it stops draining against my house....

I just yesterday crawled into my crawl space with my kids and ran a RO line to the side of the house next to my peninsula. I'm hoping to move stuff out there so that I can stop rusting everything in my garage and also start de-reef-tank-crap-ing my garage.
 
Actually, I think these are bigger than I really would be able to fit. I'm still interested on if you use them for saltwater mixing, how you handle it.

I was just going to cut the lids off and then plumb them together to make a basic mixing station. I was able to find a couple with kids already off.

Like this. Just with larger openings up top.
 
I got one from @derek_SR. Does anyone have any recommendation on how to remove the top to have a proper lid for this? I should have but did not know these were one solid piece. ‘Normal’ tools do not seem to be able to do the job.
