When a Room Outgrows a Smaller Botanicare 70 Gallon Reservoir Step
Mixing frequency is what pushes growers up a size, not floor space. At 52.875 by 34 by 13.875 in it holds 70 gallons and weighs 18 lbs empty. That is still a one-person carry, before it is filled. Front and side bulkhead ports take an external pump or tie a second tank in line.
Placing a 70 Gallon Hydroponic Reservoir Before You Fill It
Filled, it puts close to 600 lbs on the floor. A slab or a rated stand matters more here than under a small tub. Site it before filling, because nothing about a full reservoir is movable. The lid and porthole cover are sold separately, and the lid turns a top-up into a thirty second job rather than a lift.
Key Features
- 70 gallon true capacity: Real volume with aeration headroom, which is the difference between one mix a week and two.
- 52.875 x 34 x 13.875 in: Long and low, so it fits under a bench run rather than standing in the walkway.
- Front and side bulkhead ports: External pump plumbing without drilling, and a clean way to link a second tank.
- 18 lbs empty: Light enough to place alone, though a full tank is a permanent decision until it is drained.
- Lid sold separately: The matching lid carries an access port so nutrients go in without lifting it off.
