I took the advice and got a cheap rubbermaid 18 gal bucket $4.50. Miscellaneous cpvc peices, hose, etc. $15. Pictures below to show changes.

Perfect timing because the roots on these little guys have exploded and would have made maintenance a disaster. Having a separate resevoir will make things easier on me. :thumbsup:

Ill be trying the rotating ice packs idea to keep things cool.
