    Scooter Blennies are good for this? I will have to pick one up next time I am at the LFS.

    I get my RO water for 25 cents a gallon....but i know another LFS that sells theirs for 89 cents...but sumthin that is very important for our saltwater tanks....RO/DI systems tend to be a money saver in the end.

    Yes you can store it. Put a lid on the buckets to keep dust and contaminates out. If you leave it open to the air it will absorb what's in the air and the total dissolved solids (TDS) will go up. You may want to measure what you are getting with a TDS meter. It should be 0 ppm.
