Hi, I have just ordered this Brute trash can (208L) to mix water for my new fish tank and was wondering if this exact one would be okay? Like it wont leech any chemicals or anything?

I believe that’s the one I use, 32 gallons on wheels. Don't forget the wheels, just as expensive, but crucial.

Those are NSF and what I use. Have 4 of them.

I have the same. Then added a sump pump and food safe garden hose to move the water out, into the tanks. With a valve and python hook at the end

Get the one with wheels. Helps so much

I mixed salt water in those for well over a decade for reefs.   No issues

I’m another that’s been using them for decades.  Definitely get the wheels to go with it.  I’ve got smaller ones for rolling around.  That big might be hard to roll around.  Mine are 32 gallons (121 L) but I only fill it about 27 gallons (102 L) if I want to roll it around.  I have 1 elevated that my RO water goes into and I gravity drain it into the rolling barrels.  I mix my water (~50:50 very hard tap water with dechlorinator with the RO) into the rolling barrels, run a pump in it for full mixing and aeration before going in the tank(s), and pump into the tanks as needed.

We use these in our fish warehouse everyday...no problems, no complaints here.
