ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

My one suggestion, if you're making 10-30 gallons or more, is to get a
plastic trash can that twists and locks onto a round dolly. They are
expensive, but they would make moving tubs of water (or bubbles or ....
) soooo much easier for your staff, especially compared to 5-gallon
buckets. You can add a small sump pump even.
We've been using them here for filtered water for our coral-reef tanks
(the white trash cans, which are food grade).
We get them at a local restaurant supply place. Looking online I see
that Home Depot and lots of other places sell them too-- "Rubbermaid
Brute Trash Can Dolly." The trash cans come in several sizes from 20 to
55 gallons; lids are usually sold separately. I found the following
one (of many websites) that has photos:
