RO/DI Water Storage

[Ismael]

I've been storing my 32 gallon Brute containers in my bathroom but it's to the point where they're getting in the way. The spouse is suggesting I move them to my garage. We all know Houston weather is ridiculously hot in the summer, I wanted to see how hot it got in a container. At the beginning of August I placed one of my containers in my garage to test out the temp. The temp stayed between 80-85 degrees. Is it okay to store water at this temp? Is it okay to use this water at that temp. when I do water changes? I went on BRS to see about a chiller but I don't have the funds to purchase one. Where do you keep your storage containers? What would you suggest? TIA!

where do you get the water from? or do you use your own RO/DI system?

I have my own RO/DI System.

I would just add the water slowly since it will be slightly warmer than whats in the tank. It shouldn't cause any issues besides temp

I thought the same Austy16414 but corals hate any type of change. I'm hoping this doesn't damage them.
