Default Water Advice

I've ordered my tank and hardware. I will have a 90 gallon glass tank with a 25 gallon sump. Things should be arriving in a few weeks. I need to start thinking about water. I think I'll get a RO water filter to hook up outside. What sort of containers do you all use to collect your RO water? What size? At what rate does it produce usuable water? Also, what type/size of conatiner do you recommend for water changes?

Thanks.

I use a rubbermaid brute garbage can, it holds 32 gallons. My RO/DI unit produces at 75 Gallons Per day. Which is plenty.

I like 5 gallon buckets for water changes

Oh yes, you can buy the adapters that convert to the water spout outside.
