Active Aqua 2.0 Reservoir 30 Gallon - Black

UV-Stable Reservoir Tank for Nutrient Solution, 30 Gallon

A reservoir that flexes, discolors, or leaches under sustained nutrient-solution contact is a liability a grower discovers at the worst possible time. The Active Aqua 2.0 Reservoir is molded from UV-stable, food-safe, heat-resistant high impact polystyrene, built as a square black tank sized to hold nutrient solution reliably for years of continuous use.

This 30-gallon reservoir measures 31" x 31" x 12.5", sized for systems needing that specific solution volume.

Key Features & Benefits

• UV-stable construction — resists degradation from ambient and grow light exposure over years of use.
• Food-safe, heat-resistant polystyrene — holds nutrient solution without leaching into it.
• Square black tank design — fits efficiently against walls or equipment compared to a round tank of similar capacity.
• Sized for specific gallon capacities — matches the tank footprint to your system's actual reservoir needs.

Who Should Use This Reservoir

Growers building or replacing a reservoir for a recirculating or reservoir-fed hydroponic system, who want a durable tank sized to their exact gallon needs, are the fit for this line.

About Active Aqua

Active Aqua's reservoir line, sold through Hydrofarm, includes this 2.0 series tank alongside the brand's flood trays and pump lineup built to work with it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions of the 30-gallon reservoir?

It measures 31" x 31" x 12.5" as a square black tank. Confirm that footprint fits your available floor space before ordering, especially in a multi-reservoir layout.

What is the tank made from?

It's molded from UV-stable, food-safe, heat-resistant high impact polystyrene. That combination is chosen to hold nutrient solution reliably for years without degrading from light exposure or leaching into the solution.

Why is it square instead of round?

A square footprint fits more efficiently against walls or between equipment than a round tank of similar capacity, which matters in space-constrained grow rooms. It also stacks and lines up more predictably when running multiple reservoirs side by side.

How is this different from a generic storage tote?

This reservoir is purpose-built for nutrient solution contact with food-safe, heat-resistant material, where a generic storage tote isn't rated for that use and may leach or degrade under sustained exposure. It's also sized specifically to work with Active Aqua's pump and tray lineup.

Can I pair this reservoir with any Active Aqua pump?

Match the pump's rated GPH to your reservoir's gallon capacity so it can circulate the full volume on a reasonable schedule. Active Aqua's submersible pump line spans a wide enough GPH range to pair with any size in this reservoir series.
