The square 5gal winco jugs are perfect for mixing saltwater. Add 2.5 cups instant ocean, shake (I actually just twist back and forth 15-20 times, which is a workout at 40 lbs!), and I'm done.

I use the 5gal jugs for ATO too, but they only last a few days.

If you see jugs with black o-rings in the caps, let me know. I think they come from a different manufacturer, since the handle shape, markings, and even the threading on the cap are different. The white o-ring version has to be tightened hard or it leaks, which makes it harder to unscrew later.
