I am going to be relocating and the movers will pack the tank. I am going to have to set up a temp mantis home in some kind of storage bin. My question is does it have to be food grade HDPE or can it be PP? I am looking at those larger 10 gal + rubbermaid bins with the locking lids. I just don't want to get something that will leech toxins into the water. I know the HDPE is safe but not sure about the other. I am having a hard time finding the large bins in HDPE.
