I switched to a 5 gal bucket. A little advice from what I just learned the difficult way. Get yourself a really good air pump, I have one of these

http://www.amazon.com/Hydrofarm-Air-Pump-Outlets-7-8L/dp/B002TCC46U/ref=sr_1_4?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1411308096&sr=1-4&keywords=air+pump

This pump works great for a 5 gal bucket but did not supply enough air for the tote any my plant became "overwatered" or O2 deprived. unless your going to be growing this plant huge a 30 gal tote may not be necessary. I found rez changes to be more difficult as well so depending on how long you plan to veg you may want to consider just using a 5 gal bucket. If you plan on training and vegging for over 8 weeks then the tote may be a good idea.

and FYI if your using a rectangular tote your plant will grow "rectangular"... This actually seemed to help me as it made everything fit a bit more comfortably.... It also makes training to edge of the tub easier too.... Also I will swear by "flooming" now.... YOU DO NOT NEED AN AIR PUMP.... You can use a small water pump to agitate the surface and add enough DO without an air pump...

yeah I have a couple 250 gph pumps I was thinking about setting one up with a J on it to pump and dump back in tote. 5 gal bucket just ended up being easier.

Personally id recommend keeping to 1 per reservoir.... just in case theres root rot or any other issues... also you will be surprised at how fast shit grows, one will take over the tote in about a month....
