I kept a pair of 55 gallon barrels in the garage. One for RO water, one for salt. I also kept a couple buckets full of RO water in the fish room for top-offs. I had 2 pythons. One to suck out the old water, another with a pump to replenish that. I also had a 44 gallon Rubbermaid Brute can for my water-making station (outside) and I'd pump it into the 55 gallon barrel where it was heated and aerated prior to being used, either for mixing salt, or toping off. Heater, airstones, and powerhead in the salt barrel 24x7 so it was ready to go on a minute's notice. The only flaw to all this, was in the heat of summer. My garage got well over 100 degrees, so I had problems keeping the water cool. Often, I'd fill several buckets with salt water, and leave them in the fishroom to cool over night, so I wasn't doing water changes with 90+ degree water.
Between 10-25% weekly changes, and an average of 5 gallons per day in top-offs, I went thru about 75-80 gallons of water per week for my 90 and 40.
