Water container recommendations?

[Sculpin]

I'm currently using a 30 gal. trashcan to mix my ro/di water and salt. I then pump my water into my tank using a small pump and some tubing. I'd like to set up a system where I can connect PVC pipe to a large water container and simply open a ball valve to dump new water into the sump during water changes. Can anyone recommend a container (30-50 gal) that would allow me to plumb it with PVC pipes? It needs to be a tall vertical container because it needs to fit in a corner near my sump.

If I can't find a good new solution, another thought I had was cutting a hole in the bottom of the trashcan I'm currently using, but I'm worried that the weight of the water might make the plastic bend and the bulkhead seals might become compromised. Thoughts?

Thanks for all the advice!

I had no problem using uniseals on the big grey rubbermaid trash cans.

Thanks Don. Did you put a hole on the bottom or on the side?

Dang...why didn't I see those when I was setting up my water containers. I used bulkheads in 35 gal brute containers. 1 has a small leak, but the other doesn't!

Close to the bottom. Here is my old ro container. Now its a trash can.
