I use the rubbermade cans, but built small boxes for them to sit on at a height to get a 5 gallon bucket underneigth. Then I installed basic ball valves towards the bottom so as to make water changes easier. I fill the can with r/o water, add salt, drop in a powerhead to mix and in a couple days your'e ready to go. Hopefully the picture will help explain.
