How the Botanicare 40 Gallon Reservoir Plumbs Into a Room
Bulkhead ports on the front and side are what set this apart from a plastic tub. They take an external pump without drilling, and they let two tanks join in line or side by side when one is not enough. The shell is white ABS with a UV-resistant cap over a recycled core, 38.75 by 34.75 by 12.25 in, and 11 lbs empty.
What Comes With a 40 Gallon Hydroponic Reservoir and What Does Not
The lid and porthole cover are sold separately, which catches people out and is worth knowing before the tank arrives. With the lid on, the access port means nutrients go in without lifting anything off. White reflects rather than absorbs, so a tank in a warm room runs cooler than a black one. Light through the wall is the trade, and a lid closes that off. Botanicare backs it for one year.
Key Features
- 40 gallon true capacity: Real volume with headroom for aeration, not a nominal figure measured to the brim.
- Front and side bulkhead ports: Plumb an external pump straight in, or link two tanks in line or side by side.
- 38.75 x 34.75 x 12.25 in: Low and wide rather than tall, so it slides under a bench instead of standing beside it.
- White capped ABS: UV-resistant cap over a recycled core, at 11 lbs empty, so one person moves it.
- Lid sold separately: The matching lid adds an access port for feeding without breaking the seal on the tank.
