Brute Rubbermade water storage

lumpy

I was thinking. I started storing my rodi water in a brute rubbermaid garbage can I picked up specially for that purpose. Could the container be causing the problems I'm having? (see previous thread https://www.livingreefs.com/tank-woes-continued-t47618.html) At this point all of my corals are dead except for some mushrooms and a few mini maxis. Fish are still alive. Again all my water parameters look fine with the possible exception of phosphates but I've cut down feeding drasticly and reduced the number of fish.

Has anyone else used a Brute Rubbermaid container for water storage? Did it work out for you or did you have problems too?

I'm at a complete loss and am starting to wonder if I simply have been cursed by the fish gods for something.
 
Those are totally fine for water storage.

I am firmly in the camp of you are losing corals because of your phosphates.
 
Fare enough. I just dont have an electronic tool to measure them with so its hard for me to say how big an issue that still is.
