I think you are beginning to see the importance of owning your own RO/DI filter if you want to have a successful marine aquarium; reefers on a budget are often the most frustrated reefers. Large jugs are available at WalMart or Meijer; they hold more than one gallon. Keep in mind a gallon of water weighs about 8 lbs. Don't kill your back.

I purchase dechlorinater for my fresh water tank from the LFS. This is a hair algae outbreak waiting to happen as you will most likely find out sooner than later.
